HEART OF A CHILD As recorded by Eric Clapton (2021 single release) [Intro] [Verse 1] Put down that gun boy Don’t blow your life away We’re gonna need you Make it through the day [Verse 2] They put it to you They put it in your head Made you believe that You’d be better off dead [Chorus] But don’t break the heart of your child Don’t let the fear drive you wild [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] We lost the love of a Man I was proud to know They locked you down boy Made you grieve alone [Verse 4] Turn off the TV Throw your phone away Don’t you remember What your daddy used to say [Chorus] Don’t break the heart of your child Don’t let your fear drive you wild [Guitar Solo] [Verse 5] The pain you’re feeling Cuts me to the bone I’m right there with you boy You’ll never be alone [Verse 6] There’s someone else here Someone who can’t complain She don’t know if you’ll be Coming home again [Chorus] Don’t break the heart of this child Don’t let your tears drive you wild (Oh Lord) Don’t break the heart of your child Don’t let your tears drive you wild [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Don’t break the heart of your child Don’t let your tears drive you wild [Outro]
