So they say by the light of day
The boughs they all will bend for us
An' let the voices of our children wake me
Well, I told it fast an' glad
It is spoken jus' the same
An' by little hands were led astray
An' all the earth awaits thee
Oh my dream come an' take me quickly
All the stones they will cry out
From kings down to the lay
An' though the word yes
It falls on deaf ears
Yeah lay me down any way you choose
Look straight at ev'ry man
Yes an' ev'ry tongue confess thee
An' all the earth awaits thee
An' ev'ry tongue confess thee
An' though the word yes
'Fore the struggle take me
It falls on deaf ears
We heard voices of children
An' ev'ry tongue confess thee
Yet me an' my love we could not stay
All the stones they will cry out
Look straight at ev'ry man
It is spoken jus' the same
The color of a sloe drink or so they say
All the earth awaits thee
Hidden 'neath their wings
All the boughs bend for us
All the stones they will cry out
Of black, brown an' gray
The boughs they all will bend for us
The word is stands
The word is stands
