Lyrics
Mother and Child
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.
I have seen her in the laughter and the loneliest of times
She is there before and after in the mother and the child
And for my part I've felt her heart beat in my mind
She is there in every season every feeling I have felt
She is each and every reason a beginning and an end
And in my soul I've always known her as a friend
And it seems to me that I have seen
Her face in every page I ever wrote
I even dream I hear her voice
In every word and every note
And all along in every song
I'm reaching for her hand to take me home
Take me home
We have seen ourselves as children, we were ageless in our youth
We have been forevers minions we are timeless, we are true
What we hold was never old and never new
Like a mystery in twilight when there's little there to see
Or a symphony in silence she is simple and complete
Hand in hand I understand and I believe
