Ted Gardestad ge en sol

Give a sun to the children of the earth
Let it shine kindly and clear
Give another sun to the children of the earth
Let it paint sky and sea
What will the children's world look like
When the good life ends
Can we pull a plow and harrow
Across the earth round after round
Everything the children dreamed of
Exists in their small room
Universe fits in a cube
At only fourteen inches
Provide meadow with blue fire on
Big and warm where the kids can walk
Give a forest of birch and hemlock
Hang a sun on the backyard wall
Give a snow white memory
Of our brightest time
Give a sea that roars and beats
Without fighting
Give a sun to earth's children
Let the radiant friendly and clear
Give a sun to earth's children
Let it paint sky and sea
