Child Of The Earth Lyrics - Gov't Mule

As I stand here searching for the right words 

I know that wisdom comes from despair 

And I realize it's harder to find your own voice 

Than to follow one already in the air 

And as our time draws nearer 

I wonder just when we stopped being young 

And I know my greatest deeds will go unnoticed 

And our treasures were here all along 

Child of the earth hear my confession 

Please don't tell me that it's overdue 

And from the four corners of the universe 

I will make my way to you 

A gentle touch known only to each other 

And a breath that comforts like the rain 

And a taste no other shall ever know 

That upon my tongue shall remain

Child of the earth heal me with your whisper 

Hold me close to your breast 

Dress my wounds with your innocence 

I am weary let me rest 

Let your rain wash over me 

You know all I ever hoped to be 

Is half of what you are to me 

So take me from this island 

Lead me to the mountains of the moon 

As long as you lead I will follow 

And the end of time will be too soon 

Child of the earth hear my confession 

Please don't tell me that it's overdue 

And from the four corners of the universe 

I will make my way to you

I am weary 

I am weary 

I will make my way to you 

I will make my way to you 

I will make my way to you
