10. Children of God (10:05)
How many goals defined?
Children were all in line
We're all just Children in front of God
Children in front of God
I haven't a goal in mind
How will these words define
Now I'm only chillin' in front of God
Another day on the run
It's you I'm mourning
You I'm holding on to
Running to be number one
And it's killing me slowly, killing me slowly
Then one day, one day,
One day your heart will tell you
One Day, one way, one at a time
How many goals defined?
Children were all in line
We're all just Children in front of God
Children in front of God
I haven't a goal in mind
How will these words define
Now I'm only chillin' in front of God
What did you think you would find?
The need was much more in your mind
And what do you think they would find under there?
(Killing slowly, killing me slowly)
Then one day, one day,
One day your heart will tell you
One day, one way, one at a time
How many more do we write till we pass the door?
Om, Me, Jahweh...
How many more dear?
How many goals defined?
Children were all in line
We're all just Children in front of God
Children in front of God
I haven't a goal in mind
How will these words define
Now I'm only chillin' in front of God
Free your mind
Free your mind
Please be kind
Free your mind
Please be kind
Love
Children were all in line
We're all just Children in front of God
Children in front of God
I haven't a goal in mind
How will these words define
Now I'm only chillin' in front of God
Another day on the run
It's you I'm mourning
You I'm holding on to
Running to be number one
And it's killing me slowly, killing me slowly
Then one day, one day,
One day your heart will tell you
One Day, one way, one at a time
How many goals defined?
Children were all in line
We're all just Children in front of God
Children in front of God
I haven't a goal in mind
How will these words define
Now I'm only chillin' in front of God
What did you think you would find?
The need was much more in your mind
And what do you think they would find under there?
(Killing slowly, killing me slowly)
Then one day, one day,
One day your heart will tell you
One day, one way, one at a time
How many more do we write till we pass the door?
Om, Me, Jahweh...
How many more dear?
How many goals defined?
Children were all in line
We're all just Children in front of God
Children in front of God
I haven't a goal in mind
How will these words define
Now I'm only chillin' in front of God
Free your mind
Free your mind
Please be kind
Free your mind
Please be kind
Love
