                 The 
                  sun is high 
                In 
                  a flaming sky 
                Looking 
                  down on a child 
                With 
                  tears in his eyes. 
                  
                The 
                  world's slipping through his fingers 
                Like 
                  the grains of sand 
                He 
                  holds 
                With 
                  trembling hands. 
                  
                Yet 
                  still he hears the music of ancient times 
                And 
                  the sound of the waves 
                That 
                  left him here 
                On 
                  this desolate shore. 
                  
                How 
                  much more alone will he be 
                When 
                  he learns to fly 
                And 
                  why do I cry 
                For 
                  a world that just passes us by.
