Restless Child Songtext
von Luke Brindley

You can trace the lines in your palm
Chart the stars in the night sky
Follow the movement of the moon
As it pulls upon the tide

Chant mantras and count prayer beads
Pray until your knees bleed
But restless child, restless child
When will you find peace?

You can run to the end of the highway
Circumnavigate the earth
But this hunger like a blast furnace
Been burning since birth


See the shaman on the mountaintop
Hire all the lawyers in D.C
Restless child, restless child
When will you find peace?

Like wind whipping prayer flags
In Tibetan air
We carry our story
With us everywhere

From the chapel in your hometown
Swaying with the gospel choir
To the deserts of some holy land
Beneath minarets and spires

You can look to gurus and lovers
Fasting and feasts
Restless child, restless child...

To the cradle of mystery
Where all desperation will cease...
Restless child, restless child
When will you find peace?
