Conversation

A 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
Now there comes a time when one must face the life that you have led
Now that's a hard thing to do when lies is all that's been said
And the blameless eyes of an innocent youth
Is begging for you to tell the truth

Such a hard way to learn
Hard way to learn
You gotta learn, now

The 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

Now there comes a time in this child's life when the boy becomes a man
And 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 alright
(He thought everything was alright)

Boy, you gotta learn, now

The 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

The 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

The child in you is still alive
The child in you is still alive
The child in you is still alive
