a song about children, aging, death, birth. Lyrics: Children of the mist
Merrily, merrily, i sat down Under the blossom of impermanent trees that hang high like a luminous crown over the head of my little one
Man growing old becomes a child again and loose clarity every now and then So I swing my crib and sing to my babe the song of freedom from suffering
Silent and amaze as i was a little boy, i had to shut my eyes in fear when i heard those dreadful noises
But When i'll be strong enough to do all the things i want right then I will fly over to the angel side of clouds
Even though we live free Even though we live long real wisdom we desist as we are children of the mist
There is an animal quite irrational every time he sees red he tries to fly out of our head
All this honesty in our progeny All the loyalty in my sweet baby
We did misbehaved but we were innocent When we forgave all wrongs done instantly
Your hear the cries, of your baby, cries And you can't seem to stop their tears I wonder if sorrow really follows our years or does it just sits in our deepest fears
Your old earth is very dreary Our young feet are very weak Just a few paces and we are weary Old man our grave rest far to seek.
Even though they are small Even though they are weak these little children are the future of men
As the night is cold, as the night is wild the old man's tomorrow is lost in long ago
True, it may happen that we die before our time But if you listen close the dead never cries
Leaning their pretty heads on their mother's breast young birds happily chirp in their nest
