Story behind the song
One of my songs from 2011, that I reworked and remixed/remastered. It deals with reflections on childhood.
Lyrics
Stumble through life, with wide open eyes -my wonderful, wondering child.
Bounce like a ball in a pinball machine - my wonderful, wondering child.
Always so trusting and always deceived.
You like them all, but they call you naive.
You cannot lie, but you're never believed - my wonderful, wondering child.
Sorrow is your sister, trouble is your brother's name.
Your screams will be a whisper, before the sun goes down.
Oh where will you find your land? The place where you settle down.
To end your search for happiness, for peace and for love.
Oh where will you find your land?
Don't let it fool you , don't let it consume you.
Nothing is perfect- and that's how it should be.
Nothing is perfect, just look at you - and look at me.
Stumble through life, with wide open eyes - my wonderful, wondering child.
Bounce like a ball in a pinball machine - my wonderful, wondering child.
Always so trusting and always deceived.
You like them all, but they call you naive.
You cannot lie, but you're never believed - my wonderful, wondering child.
