See The Child Lyrics & Chords By Jane Siberry

A child was lost at sea today
Afloat on an ice floe
They floated away
A white cloud
A carpet
A white sleigh
See the child
That chases the dog
That jumps for the butterfly
Yeah, yeah
See the child
That chases the dog
That jumps for the butterfly
Yeah, yeah
See the yellow dress
On the child
That chases the dog
That jumps for the butterfly
Yeah, yeah
See the yellow dress
On the child
That chases the dog
That jumps for the butterfly
Yeah, yeah
See the blue sky
Behind the yellow dress
On the child
That chases the dog
That jumps for the butterfly
Yeah, yeah
See the blue sky
Behind the yellow dress
On the child
That chases the dog
That jumps for the butterfly
Yeah, yeah
See the sun up
High in the sky
Behind the yellow dress
On the child
That chases the dog
That jumps for the butterfly
Yeah, yeah
See the sun up
High in the sky
Behind the yellow dress
On the child
That chases the dog
That jumps for the butterfly
Yeah, yeah
See the grass growin'
Up to the bright sun up
High in the blue sky
Behind the yellow dress
On the child
That chases the dog
That leaps for his happiness
See the grasses growin' taller and taller and
Taller and taller and taller and taller
Until you cannot find the child that
Chases the dog that
Chases the dog that
Where is the child that?
Where is the child that?
And they say it was a, it was a yellow sun
And it was a blue sky
And it was a sweet child
And it was a happy dog
And the grass was a growin'
And the bees were a buzzin'
And through all this
The butterfly simply flies
Simply flies
It's the pull of life
It's the pull of life
It's the pull of life
It's the pull of life
Pull of life
Pull of life
Pull of life
Humble bee, humble bye
Humble dog, humble child
Humble grass, humble sky
Humble me, humble my
Humble earth's lullaby
Earth's lullaby, earth's lullaby
Lullaby, lullaby
Ohh, how time flies by
How time flies by
How time flies by
A child was lost at sea today
Afloat on an ice floe
They floated away
No one in the village will leave these shores
Until the child is safe once more
So if you see that child in someone's eyes
Bring us home
