Lyrics

Child in the Sun

[Verse 1]

I am just a child in the sun

Just another soul on the run

One more of your unwanted sons

Tell me where can I go

[Verse 2]

I had a line I tried for a while

Now I'm walkin' mile after mile

On my face no trace of a smile

Why does time pass so slow?

[Verse 3]

I have no ties, my hands are unbound

There is no friend, no love I have found

I have no ups, I'm fixed to the ground

Tell me river where you flow

[Chorus]

Take me down to the river

Take me down to the sea

Where I can drown all my sorrows

Wash all my troubles away

Watch all my cares sail away

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]

I am just a child in the sun

Just another soul on the run

One more of your unwanted sons

Tell me where can I go

[Chorus]

Take me down to the river

Take me down to the sea

Where I can drown all my sorrows

Wash all my troubles away

Watch all my cares sail away

[Chorus - Acapella]

Take me down to the river

Take me down to the sea

Where I can drown all my sorrows

Wash all my troubles away

Watch all my cares sail away
