I beseech you child of our time
Who wanders in the everlasting light
And holds the hand of god
In his own sweet palm
You who can take the demons
From my daughters nightmare
And hold them in you hand
Then let them fly away
Dare I ask the shadows
Your name, child of our time
As I watch you passing
With you face watching the sky
The baby, newborn chick
Bitter sweet harmonies
Play endlessly, over again
Until we reach adulthood
As the childish memories
Fade into dwindling sadness
As we walk alone in this life
Waiting for the everlasting light
To fade with the closed dawn
And watch the sun bring new hope
And old wonders as we age
And fall into the everlasting light
Once more
