Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Child of wonder

Child of sky

Time to end your voyage

Time to die.

[Verse 2]

Silent slumber calls you

Dark and deep

Child of soft surrender

Child of sleep

Child of sleep.

[Verse 3]

Child of sorrow

Child of rain

There is no tomorrow

No more pain.

[Verse 4]

Turn your silvered sail

Toward the light

Child of mourning

Child of night

Child of night.

[Verse 5]

Child of iridescence

Child of dream

Stars and moons will guide you

Down the stream.

[Verse 6]

Stretched on ocean waves

Of endless foam

Welcome home my child

Welcome home

Welcome home

Welcome home.
