Lyrics

FOR THE CHILD

IT'S THE SON WHO BEGS FORGIVENESS WHO'S MOTHER'S FAITH SEEMS FORCED
ARE THERE ANY HERE WHO'VE NEVER STEERED THEIR SHIP OFF COURSE?
IT'S THE BLIND WHO FEED THE BEGGARS WHEN THE CRIPPLE'S CRUTCH IS TOSSED
IT'S THE POOR WHO RING THE CHURCH BELLS WHEN THE GIFT OF LOVE IS LOST

CHORUS
WHEN THE MADMEN RULE THE CHAMBERS & THE ARC OF HISTORY FADES
IT'S THE TIME THE TRUTH REMEMBERS HOW ALL PROGRESS IS MADE
WE COME ROARING TO THE SURFACE WITH A MESSAGE BOLD AND WILD
WHEN THE MADMEN RULE THE CHAMBERS WE MUST STAND UP FOR THE CHILD

IN THE DAWNING OF THE WINDSWEPT ANNIVERSARY OF MANKIND
THEY CAME RUNNING WITH THE BLANKETS WRAPPING JESUS DEEP INSIDE
HE HAD FINISHED ALL HIS SUFFERING AND HAD LEFT IT ALL BEHIND
AT THE DAWNING OF THE WINDSWEPT ANNIVERSARY OF MANKIND

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE
IT'S THE INNOCENCE OF CHILDHOOD WHERE WE SEE REALITY
THAT FOREVER SHAPES THE VISION TO BECOME WHO WE MUST BE

(CHORUS)
