Love for a Child

There’s a picture on my kitchen wall  Looks like Jesus and his friends involved  There’s a party getting started in the yard  There’s a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive  Was I too young to see this with my eyes ?     By the pool last night apparently  The chemicals weren’t mixed properly  You hit your head and then forgot your name  And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain            And now your altitude and memory’s a shame      What about taking this empty cup and filling it up  With a little bit more of some innocence  I haven’t had enough it’s probably because when you’re young  It’s okay to be easily ignored I like to believe it was all about  love for a child  And when the house was left in shambles  Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass  Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around  Well I’m far too old to care about that now        What about taking this empty cup and filling it up  With a little bit more of innocence  I haven’t had enough it’s probably because when you’re young  It’s okay to be easily ignored I’d like to believe it was all about  love for a child    It’s kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce  I’ve been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes  And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age  and they never check to see my grades  What a fool I’d be to start complaining now What about taking this empty cup and filling it up  With a little bit more of innocence  I haven’t had enough it’s probably because when you’re young  It’s okay to be easily ignored I’d love to believe it’s all about     love for a child  It was all about love...
