Bruce Cockburn God Bless The Children Lyrics

God Bless The Children Lyrics

Night comes The mask of the world Resolves into round bits of silver on the
table Round arrow nocked against the bow Round fruit devoured by time While the
moon climbs 



Sea swells Illusion is queen In the shallow graves of
experience time-centred Grave silence reigns over the stars Graven image
hanging in time While the earth unwinds 



With rain the world grows
us older Lord let us not be lost God bless the children with knowledge of the
cost 



Day comes The hawk of gold Springs forth in flame from a
highway paved with diamonds Lion rampant on a green field Ramparts cracked into
the sky While the Christ stands by 



With pain the world paves us
over Lord let us not betray God bless the children with visions of the Day
