Nobody's Child

Written by Jim Moginie & Peter Garrett

Duration 4:28

From the album Resist

Beauty love and compassion
Look around the world
Cause nothing less will do
Yeah, I say
Beauty love and compassion
Spread it everywhere
Because nothing less will do

Still waters run so deep
Your kingdom wall falls so cheap
Nobody's child is coming home

When I came into this world now
Someone had to love me
Cause nothing less would do
And I saw, as I got older
Beauty truth and compassion
Because nothing less would do

Still waters run so deep
Your kingdom walls so steep
Nobody's child is coming home

You live your life in a fantasy
A secret life in a hideaway
And only you can tell what's wrong and right
A broken rеcord you can't fix
A blind you draw to get some peacе
And something from your childhood dark and deep

Beauty, love, and compassion I say it one more time
Beauty, love, and compassion
Beauty truth and compassion
Getting it every day

I think someone said it out loud
I can tell you now
Because nothing less will do
