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
