O Clever One

A child is born
In the small hours of the morning
The people stand and wait
Welcome him with open arms
O
O clever boy
Just born
Don't know nothing

Now the child is growin
And you find she's got her own
Nothing standing in her path
It's where she's going not where she's at

O clever girl
Just know the world
Always comEs knocking

Before you know the child is gone
And in their place a bitter one
Taught them to always be afraid
They can't remember, where they from

But Oh
O clever one
Be reborn
You ain't nothin
