Verse
C
Little child, I have found
Em
If I stood up and looked around

I'd see a brand new face staring right back at me

I believe, I am sure
Em
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

When the light shines down much brighter, many souls are found

And I can't believe what they're saying in the overground

Throw a penny for my children going down
