Leaning on a window pane

Sunshine pouring down like rain

Filling earth’s every vein with gold

Hello morning ever new

A dress of green a smile of blue

How could they ever say that you’ll grow old

​

Chorus:

Round and round the world is turning

And a tiny flame keeps burning

In the hearts of children seeing

Rainbows for the first time being

Younger than the highest mountains

Deeper than the coolest fountains

Dancing in circles ever wider

Like rings of Saturn even brighter

Tiger Lily in the wind

 

Opens when the day begins

Where will her seeds land when she unfolds

And who can say what gives rise

To the light in our eyes

Even when we’re so unwise and cold

​

Chorus
