Acorn in the meadow, Meadow filled with sun
|
Sun is shining warm on the meadow. Tree begun
|
Baby in the cradle, Cradle filled with love
|
Mama smiling warm on the cradle from above
|
|
Someday my baby be a giant man
|
Trees stretch clear up to the sky
|
Me all rest in the shade of it
|
Rest in the roots when I die
|
Oh Lord I pray you help me
|
Help me make him good
|
Never make me sorry that he was born
|
I can see it me in the shade of the acorn tree
|
He and his woman sitting side of me
|
And maybe my baby with an acorn of his own
|
