Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Let the frogs pause in their song,
Let the crickets hold their breath,
Let the trees stand still as death
And tell the mosquitoes not to bite.
Now we've been hoping for so long,
So fill the sky with fireflies.
So they can see into each other's eyes
And then they'll get it right...
Oh, Children, Children don't be scared!
The moon is up and we're all prepared!
Children, take a look around-
We're on sacred ground!
And what we thought we lost at last is found.
Now let the turtle and the dove
Let the lion and the lamb
Let the owl and wolf and ram embrace
Across the countryside!
Fur and feathers making love
So put away your teeth and claws
Let us bend a few of nature's laws
To bless this boy and bless this bride!
Oh, Children, Children don't be scared!
The moon is up and we're all prepared!
Children, take a look around-
Hear that joyful sound
For what we thought we lost at last is found. Sha la la la la la
The Earth's asleep, time to wake it.
If you have clothing, forsake it.
We want you breathless and naked.
Choose your mate; And then let's see what we create!
Sha la la la la la!
Draw near, my dearly beloved,
No preist, No church, but what of it?
Take root, take flight, I demand it!
Here we stand
So no more stalling- take her hand!
Oh!
Children, children, don't be scared.
The moon is up and we're all prepared!
Children, take a look around
We're on sacred ground, and hear that joyful sound!
For what we thought was,
What we thought was lost at last is found!
FOUND!
