Eric Clapton - Heart Of A Child Lyrics

Eric Clapton Lyrics

"Heart Of A Child"

Put down that gun boy
Don't blow your life away
We're gonna need you
Make it through the day

They put it to you
They put it in your head
Made you believe that
You'd be better off dead

But don't break the heart of your child
Don't let the fear drive you wild

We lost the love of a
Man I was proud to know
They locked you down boy
Made you grieve alone

Turn off the TV
Throw your phone away
Don't you remember
What your daddy used to say

Don't break the heart of your child
Don't let your fear drive you wild

The pain you're feeling
Cuts me to the bone
I'm right there with you boy
You'll never be alone

There's someone else here
Someone who can't complain
She don't know if you'll be
Coming home again

Don't break the heart of this child
Don't let your tears drive you wild (Oh Lord)
Don't break the heart of your child
Don't let your tears drive you wild

Don't break the heart of your child
Don't let the fear drive you wild

Writer(s): Eric Clapton, Robin Monotti

Eric Clapton co-wrote "Heart Of A Child" with Robin Monotti, an Italian architect and film producer, who is also against the COVID-19 vaccine as well as Clapton. The song was released by Bushbranch/Surfdog Records on the 24th of December, 2021, accompanied by the music video.

In a 2021 letter which Eric Clapton wrote to this song's co-writer Robin Monotti he shared his experiences after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, "I took the first jab of AZ and straight away had severe reactions which lasted ten days. I recovered eventually and was told it would be twelve weeks before the second one. About six weeks later I was offered and took the second AZ shot, but with a little more knowledge of the dangers. Needless to say the reactions were disastrous, my hands and feet were either frozen, numb or burning, and pretty much useless for two weeks, I feared I would never play again, (I suffer with peripheral neuropathy and should never have gone near the needle.) But the propaganda said the vaccine was safe for everyone."
