Ambling Toward the Unknown 7

Lyrics > Ambling Toward the Unknown 7

A LOST CHILD

I
WAS SHE A GENIUS OR A FRAUD?
ARE THE WORDS A STUDIED RUSE?
MOTHER PLACED HER ON A STAGE
TO BE MALIGNED, A MASQUERADE
OR IS IT ALL ABOUT THE TRUTH?

II
A LITTLE GIRL SHE SITS ALONE
GIVEN CHOICES NUMB AND BLEAK
WRITE THESE WORDS AND WE’LL BELIEVE
THAT YOU’RE THE REAL THING, NOT A FAKE
WHY DO THEY ALWAYS TALK THAT WAY?

CHORUS
DAILY SHE TALKS TO BIRDS AND TREES
“ABRE MON AMI” SHE SINGS
JOHANN’S TUNES SWIRL THROUGH HER HEAD
“SIGHS OF THE SEA” SHE HEARS INSTEAD

III
UNDER THE “PARIS SKY” SHE KNEW
DID SHE CARE WHAT OTHERS THOUGHT?
THE WORDS CAME CLEAR, THE THOUGHTS ABOUND
THE WORLD KEEPS SPINNING TO THE SOUND
OF LITTLE PEOPLE IN THE PRESS.

IV - INSTRUMENTAL

CHORUS - INSTRUMENTAL

V
“PLEASE COME FOR ME” SHE SAYS “MAMAN”
“I NEED YOUR LOVE AND THAT IS ALL
TAKE ME AWAY FROM ALL THE WHIRL...
I NEED A SOFT PROTECTED WORLD”
CHORUS
