Lyrics Child of Man - Live in Israel - Noa

Child of Man - Live in Israel

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
