Conversation with the child who once believed in you
How does one explain to him, what it is you do?
He says, ?Daddy, Daddy, please tell me it's not true
What all the people are saying, saying about you?
There comes a time when one must face the life that you have led
That is a hard thing to do when lies is all that has been said
And the blameless eyes of an innocent youth
Is begging for you to tell the truth
It's such a hard way to learn, hard way to learn
Gotta learn now
This moment of truth will hurt for life
Don't need to tell you that ain't right
Come now, little boy don't you cry
'Cause the child in you is still alive
Conversation with the child who once believed in you
How does one explain to him, what it is you do?
He says, ?Daddy, Daddy, please tell me it's not true
What all the people are saying, saying about you?
There comes a time in this child's life, when the boy becomes a man
So many things from his past he now can understand
Like all the times when dad would leave and be gone for so long
And he thought everything was all right
(He thought everything was all right)
Boy, you gotta learn now
This moment of truth will hurt for life
Don't need to tell you that ain't right
So, come now little boy, don't you cry
'Cause the child in you is still alive
This moment of truth will hurt for life
(This moment of truth will hurt for life)
Don't need to tell you that ain't right
(Don't need to tell you that ain't right)
Come now, little boy don't you cry
(Come now, little boy don't you cry)
'Cause the child in you is still alive
('Cause the child in you is still alive, the child in you is still alive)
Such a hard way to learn, such a hard way to learn
Such a hard way to learn, such a hard way to learn
Such a hard way to learn, such a hard way to learn
Such a hard way to learn, such a hard way to learn
