CHILD'S PLAY

J. Goodwin

It's funny how we never seem to find the words to say
Strange it doesn't really matter anyway
You shouldn't let the world's problems get inside your mind
The past is an enemy who should be left behind
Smouldering ashes of hope, that's child's play
Should we keep the fire burning or let it die away
And it's hard, when you call out in the dark
Can someone tell me how to stop this world from falling apart
Stop this world from falling apart
Stop this world from falling apart
Stop this world, I'm falling apart

CHORUS
To play upon a child's fears
Bring upon a thousand tears
Into the night it slips away
Lurking about as the children play

The world is a sandbox in which the children play
The things in which they fear are in the dreams of yesterday
Someone let a scream out somewhere in the dark
Can someone tell me how to stop this world from falling apart
Stop this world from falling apart
Stop this world from falling apart
Stop this world, I've fallen apart.
