Intro

I want to turn on the lights

I want to keep your hopes alive

So where do I begin

 To help you believe again

Makers of secret planes

Keepers of our last remains

Dream of a holy state

 In a nightmare time

You know I meant it well

 But who was it meant to help?

 Even the child knows you don't waste it

 A promise is only given once

 And there is no doubt that changes have begun

 Well, even a child knows that you can't fake it

 As long as the world is waking up

 You are free now to recover your heart

Verse

The stories left to write

The ebb and flow of my life

To justify the end

I'll do everything I can

And it's a dangerous game

I heard you tell someone

That you don't care

But I don't believe the message

And when you sing about love

What are you thinking of?

Chorus

Even a child knows you don't waste it

As long as the world is waking up

And there is no doubt that changes have begun

Well, even a child knows you don't fake it

A promise is only given once

 You are free now to go wherever you want

Bridge

 There's nothing like waking up in some foreign town

 And music, the call to prayer

 Is wailing out of speakers in the marketplace

 The first time

 Even a child

(solo)

Even a child knows you don't waste it

A present can always be delivered twice

 You are free now to receive the gift of inside

From now on let's be open

All in time, let's breathe in

Am I brave, you're so brave

Am I afraid, no, not afraid

Even the child
