Little One

I was deep down under the ground

Looking up at you

Hanging my head, holding my breath

Looking up at you

Water fell down, onto the ground

Nothing scared me more

Hanging my head, holding my breath

Nothing scared me more

I was chained to soil and field

Then you came to me and told me I was free

Rise up, shake your feet

You're with me now

Water was cold, water so old

Falling down on me

Out in the hills time stood still

You looked down on me

The path went up, up to the top

I held on to you

Dazzling heights, I covered my eyes

Clinging on to you

We were nearly at the top

Then you said to me our journey doesn't stop

Top-down, bottom-up

Just like raindrops

We were standing on the edge

Then you whispered in my ear that I was dead

Fly-fall, little one

Don't go breaking bones

Little one

Falling on his head again

Little one

Breaking all his bones

I was falling in a dream

Then I saw you standing down there at the peak

Black clouds, white relief

Somehow looking weak

I knew nothing then of fear

To the sound of rolling thunder I drew near

Look up, little one

See what I've become
