about

A simple song about the innocence of children

lyrics

Everybody’s running ‘round
Trying to find a piece of ground
On which they want to live upon
And keep to their very own
Every time you look and see
The anger burning up in me
Tell me what you want to be
Me, I’m different

No man has got a kingdom
No man has got the time
No man has got the answer
That has been written down in rhyme

I’ve seen man breed shallow empty feelings
Forgetting to bestow love upon themselves

But no man has got a kingdom of their own

No child has got the wisdom
No child has got the means
No child has got the question
That has been answered in his dreams

I’ve seen children playing in fields
Share their love which is real

The children have got a kingdom of their own
