a child was lost at sea today
|
afloat on an ice floe
|
they floated away
|
a white cloud?
|
a carpet?
|
a white sleigh?
|
|
See the child
|
that chases the dog
|
that jumps for the butterfly
|
yeah yeah
|
see the yellow dress
|
on the child
|
that chases the dog
|
that jumps for the butterfly
|
yeah yeah
|
See the blue sky
|
behind the yellow dress
|
on the child
|
that chases the dog
|
that jumps for the butterfly
|
yeah yeah
|
See the sun up
|
high in the sky
|
behind the yellow dress
|
on the child
|
that chases the dog
|
that jumps for the butterfly
|
yeah yeah
|
|
see the grass growin'
|
up to the bright sun up
|
high in the blue sky
|
behind the yellow dress
|
on the child
|
that chases the dog
|
that leaps for his happiness
|
see the grasses growin' taller and taller and
|
taller and taller and taller and taller
|
until you cannot spy with your little eye ...oh
|
|
where is the child that...?
|
where is the child that...?
|
where is the child that...?
|
|
it was a yellow sun
|
and it was a blue sky
|
and the grass was a-growin'
|
and the bees were a-buzzin'
|
and through all this
|
the butterfly simple flies
|
|
i t ' s t h e p u l l o f l i f e
|
|
humble bee
|
humble bye
|
humble dog
|
humble child
|
humble grass
|
humble sky
|
humble me
|

|
humble thee
|

|
earth's lullaby earth's lullaby earth's lullaby

|
A child was lost at sea today
|
Afloat on an ice floe
|
they floated away
|
No one in the village will leave these shores
|
Until the child is safe once more
|
So if you see that child in someone's eyes
|
Bring us home
|
