LYRICS

I heard you got arrested in the street last night
Called me with a voice I didn’t recognize
So you’re numbing the pain, stuck in your ways
Since we were kids it was like this
But I will be there
I will be there for ya

Hey child
Hey child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights keep shining bright
Oh

Back in ’06 selling weed to the freshman kids
You were the yin to my yang, never separate
And I know you been hurting, think you deserve it
How did it end up like this?
Everything will be fine
If you just get through tonight

Hey child
Hey child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights keep shining bright
Oh

My brother’s got a baby on the way now
I hope that you’ll meet him someday
And I hope he don’t make the same mistakes we made
And when I look him in the eyes I’ll say

Hey child
Hey child
You were born wild
Let your neon lights keep shining bright
Oh

Hey child
Hey child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights keep shining bright
Oh

  1. Crazy how this song is about a former member that went through a rough period and this is a like a remind of his light that needs to keep shining regardless of the hardships.

  2. I have a friend from my childhood than didn't went well on his life.. He had a though life always.. i found him ocassionally as we were growing up and each time he was drunk.. last time i saw him he was fine.. looking happy and with a lady aside.. but that damn girl was way more addict than him.. my friend was triying hard to leave alcohol.. but that bitch….. i gave him some money for a couple of days.. and since then i haven seen him again.. HEY CHILD… EMMANUEL.. I HOPE YOU ARE FINE AND HAPPY… llamamé emmanuel.. sabes donde vivo…

  3. I feel like this is what my sister and mother's souls were crying out when they couldn't find me/weren't hearing from me when I was still active in my alcoholism/addiction 😢
    Btw I celebrate 2 years sober and clean next Wednesday and my mom and sister are flying out to watch me take my chip. All glory to God in Jesus Christ name. 🙏🏾
