i am a child
please lock me away
and throw away the key
if i can not be what i am
if i must be what you want me to be
just put me on a shelf
i'll weave baskets or pottery
if i can't be myself
i am a child
please try to understand
i do not want your rules
or the back of your hand
if i must jump when you say jump
just send me to my room
i'll live in my own fantasies
rather than your world of doom and gloom
i am a child
i am not afraid of you
you can fuck me or kill me
the worst you can do
but nothing you do will change me
put that on my tombstone
the fears and corruption you live
you can keep for your own
i am a child
i mean no harm
you can not take my innocence
you can not take my charm
my magic is believing in
the wonders of being alive
and no matter what you do
my dreams will survive
i am a child
we're always being born
you may be afraid of us
or you may simply mourn
the loss of your childhhood
you're caving into fear
you can make your choice, but not mine
can i make it more clear
i am a child
i will keep coming back
to remind you of your mistakes
and of the strength you lack
you can sell your idealism
you can condemn your soul
but you can not stop me from playing
out my destined role
i am a child
the martyr on your cross
the one burned at the stake
i represent your loss
i am a child
the hope for tomorrow
the pain of facing truth
the end of your sorrow
if you will stop trying to own me
and stop living in fear
and let a child lead you
you will become aware
i am a child
you are a child
i am a child
you are a child
i am your child
you are my child
i am my child
you are your child
i am a child
i am a child
i am a child
your turn...
we come from a different time
when love was as simple as sleeping together
body contact with an innocent touch
and if it felt good even better
we come from a different place
where love is as honest as holding each other
feel our heartbeats and breathing as one
being with trust in each other
all the rules and judgments
humans seem to need
all the fear and labels
that make people bleed
all the divisions that
keep people apart
all the confusion that leave
people broken hearted
we started sharing love
before all that started
we come from a different mind
where love does not need to be figured out
or explained or justified
just shared without fear or doubt
we come from a different heart
where love does not need public approval
where love does not need to be defended
where love does not need to be pretended
where love does not need validation
where love does not mean separation
where love does not mean putting others down
where love does not mean dividing a town
where love does not mean condemning anyone
where love does not come at the point of a gun
where love does not wait for after we die
where love does not teach us how to lie
where love does not wait for a certain age
where love does not bleed on history's page
where love does not demand conformity
where love is alive and real and free
we come from a love that some people pray for
we come from a love with no wall or door
we come from a love people say they want to find
a love they once knew but all left behind
all the rules and judgments
humans seem to need
all the fear and labels
that make people bleed
all the divisions that
keep people apart
all the confusion that leave
people broken hearted
we started sharing love
before all that started
play with me, little girl
i won't touch you if you don't want me to
just play with me, little girl
i just want to have fun, don't you?
let the walls come tumbling down
and laugh at fear cuz there's not harm in me
play with me, little girl
let's find a mutual fantasy
inside of me is a child of four
and an infant wanting only to be held
most of me is ready to have fun
deep in my heart i want to start a meld
sharing everything the way only is done
in infancy and with the one the one
the one who understands and shares it all
because we mean no harm and hear the call
of the child inside
when someone really cared
wow, wouldn't that be sweet
if someone really cared
sitting here alone
dreaming of sharing
sitting here with me
dreaming of carinf
what if i cared about you
what if you cared about me
what if we made it real
physically
sensually
playfully
play with me, little girl
i won't do anything you say no to
just play with me, little girl
i just want to have fun, don't you?
yes little girl
strange as it seems
i have the control
to help make your dreams
come true
for you
and if you see
that is the dream in me
to share the dream in you
cuz that is what i dream about too
in the child inside
when somebody really cared
wow, wouldn't that be wild
if somebody really cared
all the lonely people
who puts them to bed?
all the sleeping dreams
in each and every head
who really cares about them
who really shares?
did you ever feel it
when somebody cares?
let the walls come tumbling down
and laugh at fear cuz there's not harm in me
play with me, little girl
let's find a mutual fantasy
play with me, little girl
i won't do anything you say no to
just play with me, little girl
i just want to have fun, don't you?
with the child inside
be the child inside
cuz the child inside
knows when somebody really cares
and wouldn't that be a dream
somebody really cares
little boys want to have fun too
you know i want to love you
i can see it in your eyes
the secret looks you give me
so don't pretend surprise
in all your insecurities
the hunger still shows through
you know your fire can burn me
but i/m still wanting you
yes you know this is true
i want to love you
and it doesn't matter how far apart
others might tell us we are
the rules do not matter when feelings like this
bring wishes down from the stars
and it doesn't matter if everyone else
says we've got no right, it is wrong
they don't have a clue about what love is
not when it comes on this strong
you know i want to love you
i can see it in your lips
as they secretly kiss me
a tingling in your hips
sense shivers down your spine
as you face what is true
you want to feel my loving
as much as i want you
you can taste it
(i can taste you)
your scent is in the air
you can smell it
(i can smell you)
can't hide being aware
bodies tremble
fingers ignite
the first time we touch
stars flicker
muscles tighten
we want it so much
the first time we touch
is all night
and when the morning comes
we're sprawled across the floor
two animals in heat stroke
only wanting more
wanting more
more and more
you know i want to love you
and now you are secure
and you want to love me
we know what we're here for
we're here to love each other
and we want more
all the time
we love loving each other
more and more
