Small Child

from Where Time Suspends by Rosie Nimmo

about

I firmly believe that within us all lies a small child and this song speaks for that small child and asks that it is heard in all it's vulnerability.

lyrics

deep within ourselves lies the real me
but we hide it like the oyster's grain of sand
our vulnerability, that no-one else can see
no-one else can see, no-one else can
see me, see me, hear me
see me, see me, hear me

inside every one of us is a small child
inside every one of us is a small child
a small child who seeks love
a small child who needs love
seeks love, wants love, needs love
seeks love, wants love, needs la la la la love
la la la la love

sorry that I hurt you - couldn't tell you any other way
I'm sorry.
so sorry that I hurt you but I couldn't tell you any other way
I'm sorry - hurt your small child

whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper
hide in the corner, you're a small child
you got no voice - you small child
got no voice - such a small child

see me, see me, hear me
see me, see me, hear me
see me, see me, hear me
see me, see me, hear me
oh, see me, see me, hear me
why don't you hear me?
