My caretaker from when I was young A memory of the lullabies sung From mountains we jumped From treetops we swung The violin on which my string is strung
The guide through the treacherous ways My friend on the most playful days She is the sun And I’m the haze That surrounds and bathes in her shining rays
She’s the ground and I’m the sky She asks the question and I reply She lets me flow When my waters are dry With her my river will never die
She’s the day and I’m the night I promote her shining light I’m the wood That she ignites The wings with which I can take flight
