different child

you're homeward bound for wisdom cos you've seen the webs you spun

you're versed in vice and virtue but this time your vice has won

but when hopelessness would tell you that your better days are done

have no fear you'll overcome

there are times when you might feel that there's nothing left to hold

that every time you lift your chin your faults have laid you low

but mercy's in the mightiest and mighty is the judge

he will lift you up above

and you'll cry. now i am a heart with a head on my shoulders and i say that i'm a different child
