Noa – Child Of Man lyrics

If I were a desert flower
All winter long I' d pain and cower
Spring would make me sing
My voice would ring
As tiny buds begin to bloom
In spring I' d blossom and forget
The winters gloom.

If I were a brook of water
Kissed by the frost along my borders
Spring would make me sing my voice would ring
As I' d release my ice chains
In spring I' d bubble and forget the winter' s rains.

But I am only a child of man
I am only a child of man
Just an innocent child of man

Don' t look so surprised as my eyes shine and glow
It' s the sunlight in the skies that is making me so.

If I were a joyful songbird
All winter long so cold and somber
Spring would make me sing
My voice would ring like tiny bells on scarves of silk
A song as beautiful and pure as mothers milk.

But I am only a child of man
I am only a child of man
Just an innocent child of man

Don' t look so surprised as my eyes
Shine and glow
It' s the sunlight in the skies
That is making me so.

Don't be surprised
By this look in my eyes
Like a flower or tree
I will bloom in the spring
I will she'd all my woes
As the green grass grows
Like a flower or tree
I will throw my head back and sing

If I were a desert flower, desert flower..
