Sophie B. Hawkins - A Child lyrics

I want a child Who's little hands I hold in mine Who's little voice I listen to 'til the end of time A child to keep Watch over all through the night A child to love with all my might Branches will grow And birds will come And life will sing Stories like leaves Dancing in the sun Of an eternal Spring A child to raise taller than the highest tree Or if my child's a bush It won't bother me Summer time and the living is easy Fish are jumping and the cotton is high Here comes the moon Here come the stars Here comes my child From Venus or Mars Or some where far away Where the Gods are playing cards When you are born Will I know your name Recognize your smile What will you bring To this world of ours
