Child, born of the earth
With the spirit of sunlight
Kissing a green and growing thing
With the touch of his finger
Child, loving his birth
And the pain; it is alright
Kissing the sky for he can fly
With the touch of his eye
Know the child who never dies
Respect his cries For he is blessed
He stays alive within your heart
The tender part Of tenderness
Forget the child who lives to love
Who gives to love Forget to live
Or know the child who lives in truth
Grow old with youth And let him live
Child, sun of the day
Moon of the clear night
Kissing a star and reaching far
With the touch of his heart.
There came three hawks a'circlin'
But only two remained above
While I stood there beneath them
So dreamily in love
So dreamily in love
In love with sunlit valleys
And rounded mountain sides
In love with squealing children
While somewhere there's a hawk that hides
There's a hawk that hides
He's hidin' where you'll find him
If you have the eyes to see
He waits in secret longing
Behind a dead old tree
Behind a dead old tree
One hawks watches two hawks
While they make love above me
Remindin' me of summer
And how you used to love me
And how you used to love me

Love. Love is what I found
Lighted. Lighted by the sound
Of your star
Singin' Singin' to my breast
Echoin' Echoin' celeste
Reaching far
Past...pink angel dwellings,
The caverns of crystal
Back to the ancient beginnings of love
Out again into the world
Walkin' on a misty mound
Feet not comin' near the ground
Life is scarlet
Tryin' to break the frame of the square
I watched from the inside out
As he measured time with rings of doubt
Life is scarlet
Ah, look up, open your eyes
Purple skies
Ah, loosely, lovin' to live
So you give
Havin' faith in what you love
Makin' what you're dreamin' of
Real As real as real is real
And as wonderful as the best of dreams
Magic is real and each fairy tale
Tells you how your life should run
If your soul is in the sun
Life is scarlet
