O Clever One

[Verse 1]

A child is born

In the small hours of the morn'

There's people stand and wait

Welcome him with open arms

[Chorus]

O

O clever boy

Just born (Don’t know nothing)

Don’t know nothing

[Verse 2]

Now the child is growing

And you find she’s got her own

Nothing standing in her path

It’s where she’s going not where she’s at

[Chorus]

O (Girl, girl, girl)

O clever girl (You know the world)

Know the world (Always knocking)

Always comes knocking

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]

Before you know the child is gone

(Standing out to find the coin)

And in their place a bitter one

(Stand by the sun, for the make love)

Taught them to always be afraid

(Afraid to face the power of the one)

They can’t remember where they're from

(They're from this cup to own your heart)

[Chorus]

Oh (Clever one)

O clever one (Don't be reborn)

Be reborn

(You ain’t nothing)

You ain’t nothing
