Lament Lyrics

[00:02.21] This is the world I meant
[00:06.34] Couldn't you listen
[00:09.32] Couldn't you stay content safe behind walls
[00:17.61] as I could not
[00:24.44]
[00:27.16] Now you know what's out there in the world
[00:35.52]
[00:38.46] No one can prepare you for the world
[00:46.25] Even I
[00:49.21] How could I who loved you as you were?
[00:57.67] How could I have shielded you from her?
[01:06.52] Or them
[01:09.63]
[01:16.19] No matter what you say
[01:20.13] Children won't listen
[01:24.12] No matter what you know
[01:27.27] Children refuse to learn
[01:35.99] Guide them along the way
[01:39.60] Still they won't listen
[01:43.41] Children can only grow from something you love
[01:50.22] to something you lose
[01:55.92]
