Child of Man - Live in Israel - Noa

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 winter’s 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 icy 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 mother’s 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 me eyes

Like a flower or tree

I will bloom in the spring

I will shed all my woes

As the green grass grows

Like a flower or tree

I will throw my head back and sing
