Spirit

Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking me 
 Tell the story that you told, of sailors drinking tea 
 Tell the one about the man who saddled up the wind 
 Pegasus and flying fish and woodmen made of tin. 
 A kid knows what he wants to be 
 Before he's nine or ten 
 Cowboys, clowns and men of war 
 And someone else's friend 
 But nine grows into big boy's pants 
 And then to scars and pain 
 Twenty's fast and hard as nails 
 But doesn't come again. 
 There's days to fall and days to rise 
 And days for making haste 
 Days for seeking out yourself 
 But no days you can waste 
 Night times filled with love so good 
 It aches to rest it down 
 Endless hallways dark with sleep 
 And rivers dark with sound 
 CHORUS 
 Children climbing on my arms 
 And pigeons on my head 
 Get thee up my little man 
 And dream a dream instead 
 Dream a dream of rocking chairs 
 And flying through the night 
 Then dream until the morning's gone 
 And turned the dark to light 
 Then come and get your daddy 
 If he hasn't blown away 
 Rock him in your children's hands 
 And help him find his way 
 Take him to your hiding place 
 And let him come inside 
 He'll never tell your secret 
 Cross my heart and hope to die. 
 CHORUS
