Bless The Child Lyrics

"I was born amidst the purple waterfalls. 

I was weak, yet not unblessed.

Dead to the world, alive for the journey. 

One night I dreamt a white rose withering, 

a newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness. 

I dreamt all my future, relived my past, 

and witnessed the beauty of the Beast" 

Where have all the feelings gone? 

Why has all the laughter ceased? 

Why am I loved only when I'm gone? 

Gone back in time to bless the child. 

How can I ever feel again? 

Given the chance would I return?

Why am I loved only when I'm gone? 

Gone back in time to bless the child. 

Think of me long enough to make a memory. 

Come bless the child one more time.

I've never felt so alone in my life. 

As I drank from a cup which was counting my time. 

There's a poison drop in this cup of man, 

To drink it is to follow the left hand path. 

Why am I loved only when I'm gone? 

Gone back in time to bless the child. 

Think of me long enough to make a memory. 

Come bless the child one more time.

Think of me long enough to make a memory. 

Come bless the child one more time.

"Where have all the feelings gone? 

Why is it the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you? 

Now unblessed, homesick in time, soon to be freed from care, from human pain. 

My tale is the most bitter truth: Time pays it, 

but with earth & trust, and a dark, silent grave. 

Remember my child:

without innocence the cross is only iron, 

hope is only an illusion, 

an oceansoul's nothing but a name... 

The Child bless thee and keep thee forever"
