I remember the promise
That you made in the barn
When the kittens were born
And you could not keep warm
So you moved away the mountains

That the sun rose behind
And you said yourself a prayer
And laid down with the blind

You lost them in your freedom
You need him now, you´re wild
Blessed is the memory of everybody´s child

And the vow of compassion
That you swore through your teeth
When the war began to end
And the photographs weep
Nobody blames you
As the train pulls away
With its cargo of snow
Of these German paper-weights

You lost thеm in your freedom

You need him now, you´re wild
Blessed is thе memory of everybody´s child

Well, its five in the morning
And there´s no one home
Except for your wife
And your child on the phone
Someone´s got to listen
To a promise or two
This room is far too small
For a pilgrim like you

You lost them in your freedom
You need him now, you´re wild
Blessed is the memory of everybody´s child

And now that you´ve decided
To follow the sun

Like a shadow of birds
Or a king on the run
Your chains are too dark
For the seas you must swim
You1re smiling at the seaweed
But your smile is too grim

You lost them in your freedom
You need him now, you´re wild
Blessed is the memory of everybody´s child

(Blessed is the memory of everybody´s child)
Blessed is the memory of everybody´s child
(Blessed is the memory of everybody´s child)
Blessed is the memory of everybody´s child
(Blessed is the memory of everybody´s child)
Blessed is the memory of everybody´s child
(Blessed is the memory of everybody´s child)

Blessed is the memory (Everybody´s child)
Blessed is the memory (Everybody´s child)
Blessed is the memory (Everybody´s child)
