There's a child in my eyes and she screams in the night
She's a victim of hatred and coldness and spite
She's a runaway dagger, a spoiler for fights
And the ocean it rises enclosing her might

She's a beauty queen dancing to Gypsy Kings songs
And her eyes are alive as she pleases the throngs
But where does she go when the crowds are all gone
There's no home for the wandering warrior

She sings, lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai
She sings lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai
And she rocks in her arms with her black magic charms, lai lai lai lai
With her bright eyes aglow and her gold tears in flow, lai lai lai
Lai lai lai lai

There's a child in my eyes and she's screaming for love
So she looks for it outwards, below and above
But wherever she finds it, it's never enough
So she summons the storms in, the seas growing rough

Until one day she found her in depths of despair
A goddess who soothes her and combs her wild hair
A mother who listens when the world isn't fair
She spent all this time searching to find her there

She sings lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai
She sings lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai
And she rocks in her arms with her black magic charms, lai lai lai lai
With her bright eyes aglow and her gold tears in flow, lai lai lai
Lai lai lai lai

Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai
Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai

She sings lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai
She sings lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai
And she rocks in her arms with her black magic charms, lai lai lai lai
With her bright eyes aglow and her gold tears in flow, lai lai lai
Lai lai lai lai
