Rebel child
Rebel child, won't you heed my warning
One of these days the rain'll come pouring
Some of those sunshine blue sky mornings
Might just turn to grey

I understand why you do the things you do
There was a time I was just like you
I know right now you think you know it all
There's no way that you can break, no way you can fall

Rebel child, won't you heed my warning
One of these days the rain'll come pouring
Some of those sunshine blue sky mornings
Might just turn to grey

I've been there and I know what you're thinking
You're flying high but some day you'll blink and
That cloud you're on will just start sinking
Don't wait 'til it's too late
Oh, rebel child

I know you can't learn from my mistakes
You've got your own road you've gotta take
And it might look like it's paved in gold
Just remember that you'll have to reap
All the seeds you sew

Rebel child, won't you heed my warning
One of these days the rain'll come pouring
Some of those sunshine blue sky mornings
Might just turn to grey

I've been there and I know what you're thinking
You're flying high but some day you'll blink and
That cloud you're on will just start sinking
Don't wait 'til it's too late
Oh, rebel child, oh, rebel child

Keep your feet on the ground one eye on heaven 
Do a lot of forgiving
But not much forgetting
And remember life is one big lesson

Rebel child, won't you heed my warning
One of these days the rain'll come pouring
Some of those sunshine blue sky mornings
Might just turn to grey

I've been there and I know what you're thinking
You're flying high but some day you'll blink and
That cloud you're on will just start sinking
Don't wait 'til it's too late
Oh, rebel child, oh, rebel child
Oh, rebel child
