Homeless eyes
Orphan skies
Cover the child who's been robbed blind
Righteous fools
Golden rules
Never apply when you're that kind
Nobody knows
He understands the ways of man
People grow old
And deny what they can
Father has left him
With his sight
And nothing more
This child knows the score
This child knows what power's for

Time can try
Drifting by
All in the name of life goes on
Still the child
Can't be fooled
He knows for someone.. Life is gone

Dreaming is only
Shattered sleep beneath the clouds
Laughter is never felt too deeply any more
Mother has left him with a song he cannot play
This child has to pay
This child hears what people say

Homeless eyes
Orphan skies
Cover the child with out stretched arms
Leave him be
Leave him free
Leave him without
All the reasons we need
