Audra McDonald - To a Child lyrics

What is life?
Did you read about it in a magazine?
Silent lies never give you what you need
Is there hope for a mother
And an elf on speed?

Kiss the sun hello, child in the park
Make your life a loving thing
I'm so tired, you’re so wired
And I'm a poet without a poem
And you are my child my lovely child
"So serene" read about us in a magazine
Then why are we still crying
By the washing machine?
Let's run away child and follow a dream

Kiss the sun hello, child in the park
Make your life a loving thing
The park is late, the wind is strong
The trees have eyes, and you are my song
My lovely song

What is love?
Child, I’m here to stand by you
And you will find you own way, hard and true
And I'll find mine
'cause I'm growing with you

Kiss the sun hello, God & Goddess
Make your life a loving thing
And if I smile as you
Reach above the climbin' bars
To see the stars you are my love
Child, my love
