Lyrics
Silent Running
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Fields of children running wild in the sun
Like a forest is your child growing wild in the sun
Doomed in his innocence in the sun
Gather your children to your side in the sun
Tell them only love will die,
Tell them why in the sun
Tell them it's not too late
Congregate one by one
Tell them to harvest and rejoice in the sun
