Child of the Meadow

Where will you hide?

I'll count to ten, I promise I'll close my eyes

You can't outrun me, although, I hope you might

Someday, into the light

Child of the meadow

Oh, when you run

I see the finest magic Earth ever spun

I'll face the brightness of what you will become

The moon to the sun

Child of the meadow

You, you, you, you

Are the moon on fire

(When you run into my arms)

I get a little bit lighter

(I could never do you harm)

When it's all spillin' over

(It would never be too much)

As I watch you grow older

(Forever wouldn't be enough)

Enough

But there's a fork in the road

You'll go your own way someday, that much I know

Can't make the child stay with a spoonful of gold

Still, you empty the bowl

Child of the meadow

You, you, you, you

Are the moon on fire

(When you run into my arms)

I get a little bit lighter

(I could never do you harm)

When it's all spillin' over

(It would never be too much)

As I watch you grow older

(Forever wouldn't be enough)

Me in the lake (me in the)

You in the meadow, ooh

(Me in the lake) me in the lake, ooh

You in the meadow

Day's nearly done (ooh)

You 'n go catch the sun

My child of the meadow

(Ooh) day's nearly done

You 'n go catch the sun

My child of the meadow
