"I Am A Child" lyrics - NILS LOFGREN

I am a child, I'll last a while
You can't conceive
Of the pleasure in my smile
You hold my hand
Rough up my hair
It's lots of fun
To have you there
God gave to you
Now, you give to me
I'd like to know
What you learned
The sky is blue
And so is the sea
What is the color
When black is burned?
What is the color?
You are a man, you understand
You pick me up
And you lay me down again
You make the rules
You say what's fair
It's lots of fun
To have you there
God gave to you
Now, you give to me
I'd like to know
What you learned
The sky is blue
And so is the sea
What is the color
When black is burned?
What is the color?
I am a child, I'll last a while
You can't conceive
Of the pleasure in my smile
