All alone a father sits Thinking of his son Far away a mother sleeps Her baby yet unborn Chorus: Rain and wood and fire and stone Magic all across the land Seasons come and times will go Right through your hand, Like wind and sand In awhile a child will grow A bird will learn to fly Pretty soon a child will know What it is to make a life Chorus: Long before the river goes Far from where it was Long before it meets the sea A child will know of love
