I never changed my story
I never changed my mind
But every day
My memory strayed
And I missed another sign
I'm sorry that you chose me
I should have let you know
I am no leader
A fitful believer
Bound to lose the road
And I'm three for three for failure
Why not make it four?
You had to know this was how it would go
What did you send me out there for?
Oh my child
Think of it no more
Oh my child
I have kept no score
You called when I was crying
And hiding in the rain
Out in the light
I looked in your eyes
And I thought I could be brave
I believed you on the mountain
But I lost you underground
In darkness and smoke
My bravery choked
And I knew I'd let you down
Oh my child
Think of it no more
Oh my child
The burden was not yours
Oh my child
I have worked the cure
Oh my child
See the driven thorn
Oh my child (oh my child)
Think of it no more
Oh my child (oh my child)
The burden was not yours
Oh my child (oh my child)
You are safe and sure
Oh my child (oh my child)
Think of it no more
