Nick Rolser - Child of the World Lyrics

You came into this world without any sense of control
But they built you up and then gave you your own heavy load
So now you run around like that chicken you are
Head on your shoulders, you don't like to look far
Drive by the beach one night, look at the stars
And then suddenly you feel it

It's been so in your face
You could hardly let it all in
Just a warm embrace
Like the one that your mother would give
When you were a child
When you were a child
A child of the world

Stuck in my house, just sitting here wishing it might burn
The lights are all low and now winter has taken it's turn
But I've waited my time, now's the time to choose
I gave up everything so there's nothing to lose
You played the part well and forgot who you are
Now suddenly, you remember

It's been so in your face
You could hardly let it all in
Just a warm embrace
Like the one that your mother would give
When you were a child
When you were a child
A child of the world

Your hell-bent on having your own private heaven on earth
The truth has been lying and living through all of your words
And underneath faces plagued by disguise
A peace like a river sees to your demise
Just look in the mirror and deep in your eyes
You'll know I've always been here

It's been so in your face
You could hardly let it all in
Just a warm embrace
Like the one that your mother would give
When you were a child
When you were a child
A child of the world
