Child Again Live by NEEDTOBREATHE Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I know too much
I think I know my way around
Smart to feel a heartbreak now
Too old let my safeguards down
Where'd the wonder go?
Trading magic for a measured hope
Traded dreaming for a worn out road
Tired of being in control
[Chorus]
In the cosmic light
In the by and by
I wanna see your heart
Through my younger eyes
I wanna hear your voice
In the rain and wind
I wanna know it's safe to be
A child again
[Post-Chorus]
Woo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh
[Verse 2]
I know that gettin' hurt
Is really how redemption works
My ego is a ball and chain
My instincts only make it worse
In the mornin' light
I don't want to run from pain
You know I can't afford to cheapen grace
Know that pain means my soul's awake
[Chorus]
In the cosmic light
In the by and by
I wanna see your hеart
Through my younger eyes
I wanna hеar your voice
Through the rain and wind
I wanna know it's safe to be
A child again
[Post-Chorus]
Woo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh
[Bridge]
Let my past mean nothin'
Make it powerless
I am free like a river
I am free like a river
You're my hope unbroken
You're my innocence
I am free like a river
I'm a child again
Let my past mean nothin'
Make it powerless
I am free like a river
Free like a river
You're my hope unbroken
You're my innocence
I am free like a river
I'm a child again
[Chorus]
In the cosmic light
In the by and by
I wanna see your heart
Through my younger eyes
I wanna hear your voice
In the rain and wind
I wanna know it's safe to be
A child again
[Outro]
Oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh

Alright
We weren't gonna play this, and I don't know if these guys know it but we will try to play it
(Yeah, woo!)
Uh, some of you didn't hear that but we got a request we're gonna give it a try okay
Alright, here we go, we're gonna play like nine requests now, it's gonna be embarrassing
Yeah, I know too much
I think I know my way around
Smart to feel a heartbreak now
Too old let my safeguards down
Where'd the wonder go?
Trading magic for a measured hope
Traded dreaming for a worn out road
Tired of being in control
[Chorus]
In the cosmic light
In the by and by
I wanna see your heart
Through my younger eyes
I wanna hear your voice
In the rain and wind
I wanna know it's safe to be
