Common Hymnal
Just to Be a Child Again
[Verse 1: Brittney Spencer]
Cut it down and make it grow
Anything worth letting go
Make me little again
Make it all make sense
Let me be and let me see
'Cause it eases up the pain
I was young and I grew older
Just to be a child again

[Chorus: Brittney Spencer & David Brymer]
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Just to be a child again
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Just to be a child again

[Verse 2: David Brymer]
When I first knew the Holy Ghost
The thing that I remember most
Is I was closer to my purpose
And who I was meant to be
A love with no expectation
Asking so many quesiton
When trust was beautiful and real
And I embraced with empathy
[Chorus: Brittney Spencer & David Brymer]
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Just to be a child again
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Just to be a child again

[Bridge: David Brymer, Brittney Spencer & David Brymer]
I don’t wanna judge my neighbor
I want the stranger as my friend
To unlearn all this learned behavior
To face the darkness within
So give my soul a deep awareness, oh-oh
Tenderize my heart again
To sit in suffering with another
Until the tears come to an end

[Chorus: Brittney Spencer & David Brymer]
Oh-oh-oh
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Just to be a child again
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Just to be a child again
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Just to be a child again
[Outro: Brittney Spencer & David Brymer]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Just to be a child again
Oh-oh-oh
Just to be a child again
Just to be a child again
Just to be a child again
