about

This song contains my favorite moment on the album. It comes during the bridge and it makes me feel like I am flying. I still to this day put out my hands in the flying position when I hear that part. It also contains my favorite guitar riff, that I still use as often as I can. I think it’s on at least 2 songs on the new album “Blind.”

Fun Fact #2

I liked the vocal style on this song so much that I recorded a whole album that was sung this way, “Nobody Ever Told US.” I only released a few hundred copies of it on one of my solo tours but it had some great songs on it that only a few people ever heard. Also, in the bridge the Child refers to a song I had written years ago on the Golden Streets album called the Child. Only now I am speaking to her if she is older and leaving home for the first time. Although I used the child as the everyman, there was an actual little girl I met after an outdoor festival type concert that has a pretty cool story behind it of what she told her mother while I was playing on stage.

Lyrics

lyrics

Father made the rules when you were living with him. Now you’re on your own and every door seems open. When you were flying high, everything seemed funny. But now you’re on your own and you aint got no money. But don’t let it change you, you should know better than that. And don’t let it break you.

Long live the Child, dreams running wild. See them as you are and you will make it!
