Govt Mule - Child Of The Earth lyrics

As I stand here searching for the right words

I know that wisdom comes from despair

And I realize it's harder to find your own voice

Than to follow one already in the air

And as our time draws nearer

I wonder just when we stopped being young

And I know my greatest deeds will go unnoticed

And our treasures were here all along

Child of the earth hear my confession

Please don't tell me that it's overdue

And from the four corners of the universe

I will make my way to you

A gentle touch known only to each other

And a breath that comforts like the rain

And a taste no other shall ever know

That upon my tongue shall remain

Child of the earth heal me with your whisper

Hold me close to your breast

Dress my wounds with your innocence

I am weary let me rest

Let your rain wash over me

You know all I ever hoped to be

Is half of what you are to me

So take me from this island

Lead me to the mountains of the moon

As long as you lead I will follow

And the end of time will be too soon

Child of the earth hear my confession

Please don't tell me that it's overdue

And from the four corners of the universe

I will make my way to you

Child of the earth heal me with your whisper

Come and hold me close to your breast

Dress my wounds with your innocence

I am weary let me rest

I am weary

I am weary

I will make my way to you

I will make my way to you

I will make my way to you
