Love For A Child lyrics

There's a picture on my kitchen wall

Looks like Jesus and his friends involved

There's a party getting started in the yard

There's a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive

Was I too young to see this with my eyes?

And by the pool last night, apparently

The chemicals weren't mixed properly

You hit your head and then forgot your name

And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain

And now your altitude and memory's a shame

What about taking this empty cup and filling it up

With a little bit more of innocence

I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young

It's OK to be easily ignored

I'd like to believe it was all about love for a child

And when the house was left in shambles

Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass

Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around

Well I'm far too old to care about that now

What about taking this empty cup and filling it up

With a little bit more of innocence

I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young

It's OK to be easily ignored

I'd like to believe it was all about love for a child

It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce

I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes

And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age

And they never check to see my grades

What a fool I'd be to start complaining now

What about taking this empty cup and filling it up

With a little bit more of innocence

I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young

It's OK to be easily ignored

I'd like to believe it was all about love for a child

It was all about love...
