lyrics

The wind in the willows
Your heart of gold
The lullabies that your mother sang echo in the room
Will you be safe and loved between the womb and the tomb?

You swim with the minnows and cry out in the dark
Eyes glued to the tube
Lucky your Pops drives you and brother to the bus stop and packs your lunch

You sing like a sparrow and hurt like a hawk
You'll breathe beautiful gasps and sighs of relief
You can dance till the laughter hurts and play in the leaves
