Lyrics Small Child (2013 Remastered) - Archie Roach

I see the birds up in the tree
You know that I just want to be, free
I see the clouds up in the sky
You know that I just want to fly, high

Small child, I know where you live
And small child, I know what you give to me

When you speak you whisper
Those words so soft and mild
Thank God I learnt to listen
To that inner child

Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello

Is anybody listening to?
Is anybody listening to?
Is anybody listening to that child?
That child

Don't outgrow the child inside
Remember all the times we've cried
Remember all the times we laughed
When we all had children's hearts
Let your mind swim wild and free
Like the fishes in the sea
Imagine all that you can be
Now hold on to the one you love
Then you can fly above
This Earth, you and me

Small child, I know where you live
And small child, I know what you give to me

When you speak you whisper
Those words so soft and mild
Thank God I learnt to listen
To that inner child

Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello

Is anybody listening to?
Is anybody listening to?
Is anybody listening, to that child?
Child

Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
