Lyrics
One day a babe was born along the highway
A tiny helpless thing upon the sand
And an Okie with a dream out on the byway
Took the babe and held it proudly in his hands
And the woman smiled a gentle smile of knowing
And whispered something softly in its ear
Perhaps a little prayer to help the growing
Perhaps a word of comfort through the fear
You can trust the moon to move the mighty ocean
You can trust the sun to shine upon the land
Take the little that you know and you do the best you can
And you see the rest with the quiet faith of man
The tractor makes its way along the fence line
The seeds are dropped precisely in a row
If the rain is kind and the wind don't take the topsoil
Before too long the crops will start to show
And the farmer sees the fields around him ripen
And whispers something low beneath his breath
Perhaps a little prayer to help the growing
Perhaps a word of thanks for all the rest
You can trust the moon to move the mighty ocean
You can trust the sun to shine upon the land
Take the little that you know and you do the best you can
And you see the rest with the quiet faith of man
There's a storm-tossed ship tonight out on the water
There's a soul who sails alone out on the blue
There's a dreamer with her eye upon the heavens
They're all looking for a way to make it through
You can trust the moon to move the mighty ocean
You can trust the sun to shine upon the land
Take the little that you know and you do the best you can
And you see the rest with the quiet faith of man
You can trust the moon to move the mighty ocean
You can trust the sun to shine upon the land
Take the little that you know and you do the best you can
And you see the rest with the quiet faith of man
Take the little that you know and you do the best you can
And you see the rest with the quiet faith of man
