Verse

Little child, I have found

If I stood up and looked around
F# C#
I'd see a brand new face staring right back at me

I believe, I am sure

That I'm taller than I was before
F# C#
Building a brand new bridge into sincerity
[Chorus]
F# G#
But it's at times like this we must learn to grow
C# F#
Throw a penny for my children, they are going down
G# C#
When the light shines down much brighter, many souls are found
C# F#
And I can't believe what they're saying in the overground
G# A [break]
Throw a penny for my children going down
