a child was lost at sea today

afloat on an ice floe

they floated away

a white cloud?

a carpet?

a white sleigh?



See the child

that chases the dog

that jumps for the butterfly

yeah yeah

see the yellow dress

on the child

that chases the dog

that jumps for the butterfly

yeah yeah

See the blue sky

behind the yellow dress

on the child

that chases the dog

that jumps for the butterfly

yeah yeah

See the sun up

high in the sky

behind the yellow dress

on the child

that chases the dog

that jumps for the butterfly

yeah yeah



see the grass growin'

up to the bright sun up

high in the blue sky

behind the yellow dress

on the child

that chases the dog

that leaps for his happiness

see the grasses growin' taller and taller and

taller and taller and taller and taller

until you cannot spy with your little eye ...oh



where is the child that...?

where is the child that...?

where is the child that...?



it was a yellow sun

and it was a blue sky

and the grass was a-growin'

and the bees were a-buzzin'

and through all this

the butterfly simple flies



i t ' s   t h e   p u l l   o f   l i f e



humble bee

humble bye

humble dog

humble child

humble grass

humble sky

humble me

humble my

humble thee

humble thy

humble

earth's lullaby earth's lullaby earth's lullaby

A child was lost at sea today

Afloat on an ice floe

they floated away

No one in the village will leave these shores

Until the child is safe once more

So if you see that child in someone's eyes

Bring us home
