D                                   G
Sing a cradle song now as the light fades around us
                          A                      G
And you breathe like the ocean, lying small in my arms
                  D                         G
See it all in a moment, you so young and unclouded
                     A                         G
Shining bright as a lion, feel the motion of time
         A                        D
As the world rolls away from the sun.
                       Bm                   A
I can feel your life burning, unlived moments within you
                    G
Further than I can see.


Chorus:

           D                                  G
May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you gently,
                   A                        D
May the moon light your way, ?till 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 light of unreason

The stone walls which surround us - may your spirit fly round them

Like the wind from the sea.


Chorus

                    Bm                      A
May you never know hunger, may you live with a full heart
                        G
The light stay in your eyes.
