Little Child

(A song for the innocent victims of war)

Little child
At the edge of the world,
Little child staring
From the edge of the world,
Looking at the sunset fading in the sky ahead.

Little child standing
All alone,
What are you thinking as you Stand here alone,
Will a dove swoop down and save you, Will it take you home.

______________________

Why,
Oh why,
Why,
Oh why, Wondering how you came here At all.

Little child,
At the edge of the world,
Little child staring
From the edge of the world,
Looking at the sunset fading in the sky ahead.

Will it be a silent journey Into the sun,
Fly over every mountain Following the sun,
Or back to the dark and rain To start over again.

Do you swim or turn around now

Where do you go,

Little child your eyes are open

But what do you know,

You keep staring at the sunset

Sinking below.
