The Wisdom of the Wounded Child

Lyrics

Verse 1:
In the shadow of the years gone by,
A child whispers, “Don’t let me die.”
Bruised and broken, yet still I see,
The light that heals, the truth in me.
A scar is not the end, it’s a start,
A map to the depths of the human heart.

Chorus:
Oh, the wisdom of the wounded child,
Gentle and fierce, tender and wild.
In every tear, there’s a story untold,
A flame in the dark, a courage so bold.
The wisdom of the wounded child,
Broken but pure, free and undefiled.

Verse 2:
Through the storms that shattered the sky,
I found a voice that refused to lie.
Each crack in my soul let the light seep through,
Each wound a portal to what is true.
The pain I feared became my guide,
The child within, and the monster by his side

Chorus:
Oh, the wisdom of the wounded child,
Gentle and fierce, tender and wild.
In every tear, there’s a story untold,
A flame in the dark, a courage so bold.
The wisdom of the wounded child,
Broken but pure, free and undefiled.

Bridge:
If you dare to listen, you’ll hear the call,
In the smallest voice, in the rise and fall.
Of a breath that speaks to the soul of man,
A wisdom ancient as time began.

Outro:
So hold the wounded close to your chest,
For in their pain lies the secret to rest.
The wisdom of the wounded child,
Forever whole, forever wild.
Forever whole, forever wild.
