I can tell that your thoughts are troubled
Though you might not want to say.
Come sit and tell me, little darling,
What’s vexing you today?
Since you were born, I’ve been bound and determined
To help you find your way.
You can be sure, even when my life is over,
My spirit’s here to stay.
So, when you see that new sun rising;
Giving light to the day’s horizon –
Never doubt that my spirit will be there.
Just listen for the river’s ramble;
The brushing deer in the woodland’s bramble.
In the quiet of each moment,
I’ll be there.
His true love was taken from this world.
Now what was he to do?
Then just a glimpse through the eyes of their child;
Her spirit shone on through
So, when you see that new sun rising;
Giving light to the day’s horizon –
Never doubt that my spirit will be there.
Just listen for the river’s ramble;
The brushing deer in the woodland’s bramble.
In the quiet of each moment,
I’ll be there.
People wander round their lives like shadows,
We hustle and we bustle pointlessly.
Sometimes I can’t imagine why it matters.
God, what on earth will ever come of me?
So, when you see that new sun rising;
Giving light to the day’s horizon –
Never doubt that my spirit will be there.
Just listen for the river’s ramble;
The brushing deer in the woodland’s bramble.
In the quiet of each moment,
I’ll be there.
