Nonny Nonny Lyrics - Run The Earth Watch The Sky - Chris Rice

Run the earth and watch the sky 

Summer warm and lazy 

Lemon sun and hazy, remember? 

Popsicle red on my chin 

Bikes and plastic army men and no sign of September 

Something in my seven years was telling me 

To thank the Author of such a biography 

Nonny nonny odle'ee, river washes over me 

Up for air and carry me away 

Nonny nonny odle'igh, run the earth and watch the sky 

Praying hard and waiting for the day 

Nonny nonny odle'ay 

My adolescent 70's 

Reads just like the Pevensies adventures 

'Cause every perfect now and then 

I caught a glimpse of Aslan's mane and I longed for His treasure 

Something in His mystery was drawing me 

To love the Author of my own biography 

Nonny nonny odle'ee, river washes over me 

Up for air and carry me away 

Nonny nonny odle'igh, run the earth and watch the sky 

Praying hard and waiting for the day 

Nonny nonny odle'ay 

All grown up and living fine 

Biographies all intertwined with billions 

And soon He turns the final page 

We'll look the Author in the face then the book really begins 

'Cause something tells me all these years of memories 

Are only the first sentence of eternity 

Nonny nonny odle'ee, river washes over me 

Up for air and carry me away 

Nonny nonny odle'igh, run the earth and watch the sky 

Praying hard and waiting for the day 

Nonny nonny odle'ee, river washes over me 

Up for air and carry me away 

Nonny nonny odle'igh, run the earth and watch the sky 

Praying hard and waiting for the day 

Nonny nonny odle'ay 

Praying hard and waiting for the day 

Nonny nonny odle'ay 

Praying hard and waiting for the day
