| Lyrics: | Bernie Taupin |
A small boy climbed into a world
Raised three feet high above the ground
And there together with his trusty one-eyed bear
He stumbles and he starts to look around
Raised three feet high above the ground
And there together with his trusty one-eyed bear
He stumbles and he starts to look around
Through the railings of his room
Everything is fine and nothing's wrong
With his eyes he sees the silence
While outside the dark night is long
Everything is fine and nothing's wrong
With his eyes he sees the silence
While outside the dark night is long
chorus:
Child, light of your parents
Who guard your innocence
Protect you while you're young
Child, don't rush into things that you can't do
Child, you can wait so long
Who guard your innocence
Protect you while you're young
Child, don't rush into things that you can't do
Child, you can wait so long
(repeat chorus)
For he will climb into a world
A great deal higher than his bed
For there's no skipping ropes and toys
For he'll use what we put in his head
A great deal higher than his bed
For there's no skipping ropes and toys
For he'll use what we put in his head
(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus)
