When you awake
Wipe the dreams from your eyes
Our star begins her journey 'cross the sky
You greet the day
Warm your feet by the fire
Your eyes dance with wonder and desire
But the path ahead is winding and narrow
And I know you don't want me for a shadow
You walked away
Into the forest's reaching arms
Where the ravens hide your breadcrumbs for a lark
And I reached for you too
But then quickly turned away
So small, so helpless, so unafraid
But the path ahead is winding and narrow
And I know you don't want me for a shadow
Once upon a time
You sat beneath the trees at play
When the mantis landed on your knee to pray
You ran to me
You were quaking with fright
You looked to me to make everything all right
But the path ahead is winding and narrow
And I know you don't want me for a shadow
