pretty child
they're cheering away
as you ride through your kingdom of sand
lovely child
you're a hero today
you're a magical mystery man

like a bird on the wing
you soar through your dreams
let your fantasies sweep the skies
but you know it's unreal
the pain is so clear
like the tears in a baby's eyes

holy child
you fly through the night
on your faithful and glorious steed
lonely child
wake up to the light
get back to your tatters, your home on the street

like a bird on the wing [like a bird on the wing]
you soar through your dreams
let your fantasies sweep the skies
but you know it's unreal [but you know it's unreal]
the pain is so clear
like the tears in a baby's eyes
tears in a baby's eyes

like the tears in a baby's eyes
