Fast asleep in the dawn of ages   The soul of every child   Has waited to be born a stranger   Underneath the drum of his mothers heart      Lying deep in a dream of darkness   Where fear has never gone   Each spark of a life is started   Blind and pure to the world we come   Blind and pure to the world we come      Each of us a dancer to the drum   Each of us a dancer to the drum   Blind and pure we come      One is born into a life of hunger   One will be a king or a rich man's son   One will kill out of greed or anger   One will give his life for another one      There are smiles in the lies of innocence   There are blooms in the walls of stone   And we will see ourselves   In the eyes of everyone we have ever known   Everyone we have ever known      And the heart, the heart will ever be a witness   And precious time, no treasure is worth   And the child, the child will carry our existence   Through the days that we have on earth      Each of us a dancer to the drum   Each of us a dancer to the drum   Blind and pure we come      Fast asleep in the dawn of ages   The soul of every child   Has waited to be born a stranger   Underneath the drum of his mothers heart
