Conversation

Lyrics

Conversation with the child who once believed in you
 How does one explain to him, what it is you do?
 He says,? Daddy, Daddy, please tell me it's not true
 What all the people are saying, saying about you?
 There comes a time when one must face the life that you have led
 That is a hard thing to do when lies is all that has been said
 And the blameless eyes of an innocent youth
 Is begging for you to tell the truth
 It's such a hard way to learn, hard way to learn
 Gotta learn now
 This moment of truth will hurt for life
 Don't need to tell you that ain't right
 Come now, little boy don't you cry
 'Cause the child in you is still alive
 Conversation with the child who once believed in you
 How does one explain to him, what it is you do?
 He says,? Daddy, Daddy, please tell me it's not true
 What all the people are saying, saying about you?
 There comes a time in this child's life, when the boy becomes a man
 So many things from his past he now can understand
 Like all the times when dad would leave and be gone for so long
 And he thought everything was all right
 (He thought everything was all right)
 Boy, you gotta learn now
 This moment of truth will hurt for life
 Don't need to tell you that ain't right
 So, come now little boy, don't you cry
 'Cause the child in you is still alive
 This moment of truth will hurt for life
 (This moment of truth will hurt for life)
 Don't need to tell you that ain't right
 (Don't need to tell you that ain't right)
 Come now, little boy don't you cry
 (Come now, little boy don't you cry)
 'Cause the child in you is still alive
 ('Cause the child in you is still alive, the child in you is still alive)
 Such a hard way to learn, such a hard way to learn
 Such a hard way to learn, such a hard way to learn
 Such a hard way to learn, such a hard way to learn
 Such a hard way to learn, such a hard way to learn
