The Melancholy Child

The melancholy child is full of woe
or does it just.......seem so
Walking around with unfilled dreams
Struggling with thoughts
or so it seems
Ideas come
ideas go
I just don't know
Who speaks the thoughts that roam our head
Why us, of course, they can't be read
the rambling words goes round and round
the words speak ill, all thoughts of dread

The melancholy child is full of woe
or does it just....... seem so
Happiness is a state of mind
We just need some direction to find
the good thoughts, and ignore the bad
sadness comes
sadness goes
I just don't know
Who tells us if we're good or not
Why us, of course, we need repair
The words can lead us in the world
the words can lead us to despair
The melancholy child is full of woe
or does it just...... seem so

Who gives us guilt at every turn
Why us, of course, or so it seems
The rambling thoughts won't go away
Or is this just all a dream
A dream that never ends at day
Sleeping comes
Sleeping goes
I just don't know
The melancholy child is full of woe
or does it just ......seem so

Sleep my child, say your prayers
God will wake you when its time
to smile, to laugh, to do His work
to help the poor, to give your dime
Time will come
Time will go
The melancholy child full of woe?
No, ... hope is here.......that we know
