Song Lyrics

I expected many things

but not a little boy

trying so hard to weave the threads that he sees



Mother Gaia watches

as he trips and gets tangled and falls

Mother Gaia weeps

for she sees the storm that is to rise



Those who see far and so much

carry secrets in their souls

watching, but never interfering

they hold and they watch and they pray



I expected many things

but not a little boy

trying so hard to save the world through his eyes



Mother Gaia watches

as the threads come undone at his feet

Mother Gaia reaches

her arms out to embrace her son



And those who see far and so much

carry secrets of us all

longing to thread them into song

to give voice to the sacred unknown



I expected many things

(Mother Gaia watches)

but not a little boy

(Mother Gaia reaches)

trying so hard to save the world

(her arms out to embrace her son...)
