I walk as a child Shrinking down below the trees That enclose me inside A world beginning to freeze I walk as a child on the antarctic snow With the glaciers all wrinkled with cracks The years have come and gone leaving the lush world behind Soon the cold will creep in to take a bite If I go much further I'll have no legs to hold No arms to console me and no mind to control me The snow won't meld and the beast will hunt closely But I found myself a place to enfold me It says Don't you worry I will keep you close Wrapped inside my arms I won't let go You're still a child evolving from the sea you know Watch the ice age come and suddenly go The world I knew had borders The people I knew held greed My mother's nature order is to Wipe out all of the weeds And the fields are tundra And all that's left are trees I encroach on everyone of them To shelter from the freeze, they say Don't you worry we will keep you close Wrapped inside our arms we won't let go You're still a child evolving from the sea you know Watch the ice age come and suddenly go When the snow won't melt And the cold won't go I will walk the whole forest Just to return home Just to return home They say Don't you worry we will keep you close Wrapped inside our arms we won't let go You're still a child evolving from the sea you know Watch the ice age come and suddenly go When the snow won't melt And the cold won't go I will walk the whole forest Just to return home
