lyrics

Stayed back a pace or more
And let the rhythm blind me
To anything other than the shape
Of mother and child
And when we walk we fly
In the air we're seeing the sky
Fish in the water
And the little ones growing up wild
Tell me there's a fear at all
Of living near a waterfall
Trees stretch up so tall
To the Winter sun

Tried to hard to see it
While I moved on the open trail
Might have strayed longer
But the stronger Summer hand prevails
Tell me there's a fear at all
Of living near a waterfall
Where the trees stretch up so tall
To the distant sun

Oh how the glow lands
Around your head

We can move like mountains
Removed from our sleepy beds
Leave off worrying
And hurry to the riverbed
There we taste the sweetness
Wild air champing on
Somehow someday
Reach our destination
So tell me there's a fear at all
Of living near a waterfall
Where the trees stretch up so tall
To the Winter sun
