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 face the brightest of what you will become
The moon to the sun
Child of the meadow

You, are the moon on fire
When you run into my arms
And I get a bit lighter
I could never do you harm
When it's all spilling over
It would never be too much
As I watch you grow older
Forever wouldn't be 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, are the moon on fire
When you run into my arms
And I get a bit lighter
I could never do you harm
When it's all spilling over
It would never be too much
As I watch you grow older
Forever wouldn't be enough

Me in the lake, you in the meadow...
Me in the lake, you in the meadow...

Day's nearly done
You go catch the sun, my child of the meadow
Day's nearly done
You go catch the sun, my child of the meadow
