lyrics

Foolish Child
word and music: Lenny Lee ©2010

Standing small at the razors edge of discovery and denial
I point this vulgar blowtorch to the west
and warm my hands on the fire - oh yeah.....

My powers of persuasion failing me
is there something that I overlooked
Is losing sight of my humanity
part of this burden that I undertook?

Don't you know I can guide you through the darkness, Foolish Child
and I will strike down upon thee with furious anger
'til you see the light.

You're trapped in circles and no longer hear the music of the spheres
So dare to revel in the mystery
perhaps your muse is hiding here

And you know I will guide you through the darkness, Foolish Child
and I will strike down upon thee with furious anger
'til you see the light.

Soldiers of the emptiness would have me deny my experience
with a saddening blindness of things I have seen, if only from a distance
you choose your illusions, I'll choose mine
'cuz I've had more than a glimpse of the light
as it draws me away from your heat
you won't dissuade me, no, 'cuz

I will smile upon you, Foolish Child
and you may strike down upon me with furious anger
we both know why
you foolish child.......
