VERSE 1
Little child, I have found
If I stood up and looked around
I’d see a brand new face staring right back at me
I believe, I am sure
That I’m taller than I was before
Building a brand new bridge into sincerity

CHORUS
But it’s at times like this we must learn to grow
Throw a penny for my children, they are going down
When the light shines down much brighter, many souls are found
And I can’t believe what they’re saying in the overground
A Bb
Throw a penny for my children going down

At night I turn my face into the wind
And I whisper secretly (secretly)

What means the most to me and bring him close

VERSE 2
Make it bad, make it good
Make it easy to be understood
Well, I see a velvet day breaking across the sky
I believe, I am sure
I am taller than I was before
Building a brand new bridge, I know I’m gonna try

CHORUS
But it’s at times like this we must find out why
Throw a penny for my children, they are going down
When the light shines down much brighter, many souls are found
And I can’t believe what they’re saying in the overground
