Generate meaning
1
I am the painted child, the maker of confusion
2
With rainbows in my hair and magic on my face
3
A phantom of the street, an optical illusion
4
Who hears a different beat, who runs a different race.
5
I am the painted child, I am the mischief maker
6
The beggar at the feast, the fiddler at the ball
7
I know the words of songs, I am the Sabbath breaker
8
The caller in the night, the writing on the wall.
9
The name on the wall...is me
10
The cry in the darkis me
11
The mark of the childI sign
12
The name on the wall
13
I am the painted child, the child who is a stranger
14
And those who once came near now turn and walk away
15
And everywhere is fear and everywhere is danger
16
These are the masks we wear, these are the parts we play
17
I am the painted child, the crier and the chorus
18
I strike upon the drum for funerals and games
19
And others there have come in centuries before us
20
To fill the world with noise and dance among the flames
21
The name on the wall...is me
22
The cry in the darkis me
23
The mark of the childI sign
24
The name on the wall
25
I am the painted child, the clown and the protester
26
A creature of the time and seldom what I seem
27
And call me what you will, a renegade or jester
28
But still I chill your heart, and still I haunt your dream
29
Ill sing beside your grave, half-minstrel and half-mourner
30
Ill sing of years gone by and bridges never crossed
31
I am the painted child who stands on any corner
32
I am the child you loved, I am the child you lost.
33
The name on the wallis mine
34
Look in to my face and see
35
The strange painted child
36
Is me
