When I am older than these small goddamned hills And there's no reason for my mind to be still
Oh, how I'll feel like a beautiful child again Such a beautiful child again Such a beautiful child Such a beautiful child again
When I have finally found my room filled with toys Be banging on my crib excited by noise
Oh, how I'll feel Oh, how I'll feel Oh, how I'll feel like a beautiful child Such a beautiful child again Such a beautiful child Such a beautiful child again
And when there's nothing to gain Or bring me pain Or pin the blame On you or myself
And when they finally fall These wailing walls And burning crosses God's twilight and all
Oh how I'll feel Oh how I'll feel Oh how I'll feel like a beautiful child Such a beautiful child again A beautiful child Such a beautiful child again Such a beautiful child Such a beautiful child again When I am older than these small goddamned hills
