Face and Ghost (The Children's Song)

you got it bad

you got it good

you saw the sun

like you knew that you would

we gotta make this better

gotta make this right

ain't no peace in the valley baby

'til the darkness turns to light

can you hear that children's song?

can you take me to that place?

high above the lamentation up on the desert plane

do you hear that children's song?

can you take me there?

lost in the Maya

overboard in the sea

there was void and then that water broke

then something called "me"

now a trip to the desert to look at the sky

it's like never-ending mirrors

playing tricks on my eyes

can you hear that children's song?

can you take me to that place?

high above the lamentation up on the desert plane

do you hear that children's song?

can you take me there?

the face and ghost my guide

I must move on

it's the face of one ravaged by love

it's both dead and alive

you got it bad lover

no you got it good

you saw the sun

like you knew that you would

in spite of my confusion

up above all my pain

I gotta death-grip on this vision

here we go again

the face and ghost my guide

I must move on

it's the face of one ravaged by love

it's both dead and alive

sha la la la la la la

sha la la la la la la

sha la la la la la la

can you hear them singin'?

sha la la la la la la

sha la la la la la la

can you hear them singin'?

sha la la la la la la

sha la la la la la la

can you hear that children's song?

can you take me to that place?

do you hear that pilgrim's song?

can you take me there?

sha la la la la la la
