Lone Child Lyrics

I dont like you much
I am like a wolf
Im not full of your hate
Full of my grace
See in my face, I am a king

See the empty stage
See theres nothing left
save your arms of dispair
your once wasted air
your devil may care, poisining

(Chorus)
Lone child
Born wild
No travel strings
Lone Child
Born wild
No travel strings

Ill be moving on
Creeping off the stage
I'll be telling you off
Tearing you down
Im gravelling down, in the wings

(Chorus)
Lone Child
Born wild
No travel strings
Lone child
Born wild
No travel strings

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
