Child In Time

Yngwie Malmsteen

Know your place in life is where you want to be

Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me

Keep on looking forward; no use in looking 'round

Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you down



Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind

A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind

We marvel after those who sought

New wonders in the world, wonders in the world,

Wonders in the world they wrought.




Live for yourself

there's no one else

More worth living for

Begging hands and bleeding hearts will

Only cry out for more




Well, I know they've always told you

Selfishness was wrong

Yet it was for me, not you, I

Came to write this song
