See The Child Lyrics - 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
