Текст песни VAN MORRISON - Song Of Being A Child

(Words by Peter Handke, Van Morrison)When the child was a childIt walked with arms hangingWanted the stream to be a river and the river a torrentAnd this puddle, the seaWhen the child was a child, it didn't know( )It was a childEverything for it was filled with life and all life was oneSaw the horizon without trying to reach itCouldn't rush itself And think on commandWas often terribly boredAnd couldn't waitPassed up greeting the momentsAnd prayed only with it's lipsWhen the child was a childIt didn't have an opinion about a thingHad no habitsOften sat crossed-legged, took off runningHad a cow lick in it's hairAnd didn't put on a face when photographedWhen the child was a childIt was the time of the following questionsWhy am I me and why not youWhy am I here and why not thereWhy did time begin and where does space endIsn't what I see and hear and smellJust the appearance of the world in front of the worldIsn't life under the sun just a dreamDoes evil actually exist in peopleWho really are evilWhy can't it be that I who amWasn't before I wasAnd that sometime I, the I, I amNo longer will be the I, I amWhen the child was a childIt gagged on spinach, on peas, on rice puddingAnd on steamed cauliflowerAnd now eats all of it and not just because it has toWhen the child was a childIt woke up once in a strange bedAnd now time and time againMany people seem beautiful to itAnd now not so many and now only if it's luckyIt had a precise picture of paradiseAnd now can only vaguely conceive of it at bestIt couldn't imagine nothingnessAnd today shudders in the face of itGo for the ballWhich today rolls between it's legsWith it's I'm here it cameInto the house which now is emptyWhen the child was a childIt played with enthusiasmAnd now only with such former concentrationWhere it's work is concernedWhen the game, task, activity, subject happens to be it's workWhen the child was a childIt was enough to live on apples and bread. And it's still that wayWhen the child was a child berries fellOnly like berries into it's hand. And still doThe fresh walnuts made it's tongue raw. And still doAtop each mountain it cravedYet a higher mountain. And in each city it cravedYet a bigger city. And still doesReach for the cherries in the treetopAs elated as it still is todayWas shy in front of strangers. And still isIt waited for the first snow. And still waits that wayWhen the child was a childIt waited restlessly each day for the return of the loved oneAnd still waits that wayWhen the child was a childIt hurled a stick like a lance into a treeAnd it's still quivering there todayThe child, the child was a childWas a child, was a child, was a child, was a childChild, child, childWhen the child, when the child, when the childWhen the child, when the childThe child, child, child, child, child[added words by Van Morrison]And on and on and on and on, etc. And onwardWith a sense of wonderUpon the highest hill. Upon the highest hillWhen the child was a childAre you thereShassas, shassasUp on a highest hillWhen the child was a child, was a child, was a childWas a child, was a child, was a child, etc.[fade to end]
