All alone a father sits
Thinking of his son
Far away a mother sleeps
Her baby yet unborn
Chorus:
Rain and wood and fire and stone
Magic all across the land
Seasons come and times will go
Right through your hand,
Like wind and sand
In awhile a child will grow
A bird will learn to fly
Pretty soon a child will know
What it is to make a life
Chorus:
Long before the river goes
Far from where it was
Long before it meets the sea
A child will know of love
