"Cradle Song" lyrics

Sing a cradle song now
As the light fades around us
And you breathe like the ocean
Lying small in my arms

See it all in a moment
You're so young and unclouded
Shining bright as a lion
Feel the motion of time
As the world rolls away from the sun

I can feel your life burning
Unlived moments within you
Further than I can see

May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you gently
May the moon light your way 'til the wind sets you free

I remember your face
As you cried for the first time
The cold air of the world
And the fierce light of day
And the cruel separation

In a world washed with tears
Numbed with pain to unfeeling
May you hold to your truth
As you walk the dark night of unreason

These stone walls which surround us
May your spirit fly around them
Like the wind from the sea

May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you gently
May the moon light your way 'til the wind sets you free

May you never know hunger
May you love with a full heart
The light stay in your eyes

May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you gently
May the moon light your way 'til the wind sets you free
May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you gently
May the moon light your way 'til the wind sets you free
