Firstborn Of The Earth Lyrics - Singles - Oldfield Sally

Oldfield 

Firstborn of the Earth we were cradled by the light of the father! 

He gave me gold at my birth 

And the sky was on fire with all I could desire 

And every light on the Earth shone for me 

I was queen of my land 

Nurtured by the wind forever moving all things 

I hear the call of the shelterless ones 

And I seek no home for I travel alone 

And every man that I meet is my friend 

Another child of the wind 

And the sky was on fire with all I could desire 

And every light on the Earth shone for me 

I was queen of my land 

Firstborn of the Earth we were cradled by the light of the father! 

He gave me gold at my birth 

And the sky was on fire with all I could desire 

And every light on the Earth shone for me 

I was queen of my land 

Firstborn of the Earth we were cradled by the light of the father! 

Nurtured by the wind and all things that move on the water 

Golden is my land with grey and blue skies swiftly moving 

Ove the fields where the wood smoke is sweetly scented 

Windblown at high tide, a lover and friend by my side 

Soft sand and sea-shells, the sound of the far distant bells, 

Sunlight in my eyes, the clear call of the wild sea-bird's cry 

Coming to me like a love song soaring free! 

Firstborn of the earth we were cradled by the light of the father!
