Allen Stanton - Child Of Clay Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Into the darkness he was sent
By parents who were ignorant, umm, hmm
Tied down to his mother's strings
Unable to be anything, umm, hmm-hmm
Puzzled by the things he hears
His questions fall on their deaf ears
And the father thinking work comes first
Ain't got the time to quench a thirst
No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no-no
No-no, no-no-no-no, no-no

[Chorus]
Once he was a child, a beautiful child
A child of clay
Shaped and molded into what
He is today
But who is to blame
For this child of clay?

[Verse 2]
And going out into the street
At night the answers he may meet, umm, hmm
With sick and twisted minds he shares
The searching questions his heart bears, umm, hmm
And from the dregs the answers find
Their way into his supple mind
In time the planted seeds will grow
Into a twisted vine below
No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no-no
No-no, no-no-no-no, no-no
[Chorus]
Once he was a child, a beautiful child
A child of clay
Shaped and molded into what
He is today
But who is to blame
For this child of clay?

[Verse 3]
And now his aimless days begin
To drift into sordid sin, umm, hmm
And soon his dislike turns to hate
As the stamp of life seals his fate, umm, hmm-hmm-hmm
And so the night conceals his name
And the day sleeps off his shame
Deprived of love and wrought by fear
A feeling that the end is near
No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no-no
No-no, no-no-no-no, no-no

[Chorus]
Oh, once he was a child, a beautiful child
A child of clay
Shaped and molded into what
He is today
Tell me, who is to blame
For this child of clay?
[Outro]
Once he was a child, a beautiful child
A child of clay
Shaped and molded into what
He is today
Oh, who is to blame?
