"Higher Learning" lyrics
Little child lost
Little boy, little girl
Little child lost in the earth
The seed drags you down
Down deep into the earth
Down deep
Each time, each time we give
Each time
We add a word
We add a breath
We cast a note
We slide a bead
Upon the necklace of all human knowledge
In the world
Let it come down
Let it come down
Oh my, mother, father, sister, brother, children
Let it come down
In the heart, coming down
The earth, underground, they're waiting
Little boy, little girl
Little child lost in the earth
The seed drags you down
Down deep into the earth
Down deep
Each time, each time we give
Each time
We add a word
We add a breath
We cast a note
We slide a bead
Upon the necklace of all human knowledge
In the world
Let it come down
Let it come down
Oh my, mother, father, sister, brother, children
Let it come down
In the heart, coming down
The earth, underground, they're waiting
