Long Lost Child - Mindy Gledhill

Deep within my memory

Where the grass grows to my knees

Where sparrows sing, and all creation speaks to me.

Where clouds rain in noonday sky

With castles, kings, and queens

Where hopes and dreams, and angels' wings are common things

A long lost child falls behind

And now she is miles and miles from the present time

And just like the birds that fly across the sky

She’s been away awhile

Oh, but I will find her, free from all guile

Beautifully wild

Long lost child

Across the Swanee River

And down in Golden Glen

I saw her face, but I can’t quite remember when

It’s a game of hide and seeking

So tell me, where’d she go?

Perhaps if I inquire, the Brothers Grimm may know?

Oh, a long lost child left behind

She must be miles and miles from the present time

And just like the birds that fly across the sky

She’s been away awhile

Oh, but I will find her, free from all guile

Beautifully wild

Long lost child

Oh, long lost child left behind

You must be miles and miles from the present time

And just like the birds that fly across the sky

You’ve been away awhile

Oh, but I will find you, free from all guile

Beautifully wild

Long lost child
