O Clever One

[Verse 1]
A child is born
In the small hours of the morn'
There's people stand and wait
Welcome him with open arms

[Chorus]
O
O clever boy
Just born (Don’t know nothing)
Don’t know nothing

[Verse 2]
Now the child is growing
And you find she’s got her own
Nothing standing in her path
It’s where she’s going not where she’s at

[Chorus]
O (Girl, girl, girl)
O clever girl (You know the world)
Know the world (Always knocking)
Always comes knocking

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Before you know the child is gone
(Standing out to find the coin)
And in their place a bitter one
(Stand by the sun, for the make love)
Taught them to always be afraid
(Afraid to face the power of the one)
They can’t remember where they're from
(They're from this cup to own your heart)

[Chorus]
Oh (Clever one)
O clever one (Don't be reborn)
Be reborn
(You ain’t nothing)
You ain’t nothing
