Cloud Catchers - The Child Inside Lyrics

I saw that little child
Looking at me in the mirror
There he was in the white of my eyes
Smiling and waving hello
And I was most surprised
I thought he'd left last winter
When my system was frozen to ice
And all I could say was no

The child inside will wait forever
To be heard and allowed to come home
The child inside's not getting older
Just so sad always being alone
Just so sad always being alone

And I'm starting to understand
Why my child's been hiding for so long
And I'll do yeah I'll do what I can
To make him feel welcome again
I'm tearing down the fence
That kept him away from the fire
And he'll be my very best friend
He'll keep me from going insane

The child inside will wait forever
To be heard and allowed to come home
The child inside's not getting older
Just so sad always being alone
Just so sad always being alone

I saw that little child
Looking at me in the mirror
There he was in the white of my eyes
Smiling and waving hello yeah yeah

The child inside will wait forever
To be heard and allowed to come home
The child inside's not getting older
So sad alone

The child inside will wait forever
To be heard and allowed to come home
The child inside's not getting older
So sad alone
