Перевод
Child in Time
Дитя, со временем...*
Sweet child, in time you'll see the line
Мой милый мальчик, пролетят быстро года,
The line that's drawn between the good and the bad
Научишься ты отличать добро от зла.
See the blind man shooting at the world
Ты разглядишь стреляющего в мир слепца,
Bullets flying taking toll
Чьи пули косят всех, как серп косца.
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
Коль жил неправедно, а ты ведь так и жил,
And you've not been hit by flying lead
От пули увернувшись из последних сил,
You'd better close your eyes and bow your head
Закрой глаза и голову свою пригни,
And wait for the ricochet
Молись, чтоб рикошетом пули все прошли.

Child in time
Child, in time ... *
Sweet child, in time you'll see the line
My dear boy, the years will fly by
The line that's drawn between the good and the bad
You will learn to distinguish good from evil.
See the blind man shooting at the world
You will see a blind man shooting into the world
Bullets flying taking toll
Whose bullets mow down everyone like a mowing sickle.
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
Kohl lived unrighteously, but you did live like that,
And you've not been hit by flying lead
Dodging a bullet with the last bit of strength,
You'd better close your eyes and bow your head
Close your eyes and bend your head
And wait for the ricochet
Pray that the bullets ricocheted through.
