See The Child Lyrics

See The Child

a child was lost at sea today 
afloat on an ice floe  
they floated away 
a white cloud? 
a carpet? 
a white sleigh?  
 
See the child 
that chases the dog  
that jumps for the butterfly 
yeah yeah 
see the yellow dress  
on the child 
that chases the dog  
that jumps for the butterfly 
yeah yeah 
See the blue sky  
behind the yellow dress  
on the child 
that chases the dog 
that jumps for the butterfly 
yeah yeah 
See the sun up  
high in the sky  
behind the yellow dress  
on the child 
that chases the dog 
that jumps for the butterfly 
yeah yeah 
 
 
see the grass growin`  
up to the bright sun up  
high in the blue sky  
behind the yellow dress 
on the child  
that chases the dog  
that leaps for his happiness 
see the grasses growin` taller and taller and 
taller and taller and taller and taller 
until you cannot spy with your little eye ...oh  
 
where is the child that...? 
where is the child that...? 
where is the child that...?  
 
it was a yellow sun 
and it was a blue sky 
and the grass was a-growin` 
and the bees were a-buzzin` 
and through all this 
the butterfly simple flies  
 
i t ` s   t h e   p u l l   o f   l i f e  
 
humble bee 
humble bye 
humble dog 
humble child 
humble grass 
humble sky 
humble me 
humble my 
humble thee 
humble thy 
humble 
earth`s lullaby earth`s lullaby earth`s lullaby  
 
o h h . . .   h o w   t i m e   f l i e s   b y  
 
A child was lost at sea today 
Afloat on an ice floe 
they floated away 
No one in the village will leave these shores 
Until the child is safe once more 
So if you see that child in someone`s eyes 
Bring us home
