I knew a child
The child with no God
He would wonder why he was there
If nobody ever for him cared
I knew a child
As sweet as anything can be
He would smile all day along
And stay calm despite the drag
I knew a child
The child with no God
For he always was for himself
And nobody for his sake
I knew a child
Who knew he had to do it alone
For there was courage in him
And the world to see him
The child with no God
He would wonder why he was there
If nobody ever for him cared
I knew a child
As sweet as anything can be
He would smile all day along
And stay calm despite the drag
I knew a child
The child with no God
For he always was for himself
And nobody for his sake
I knew a child
Who knew he had to do it alone
For there was courage in him
And the world to see him
