Come With Me
by: Brian CaddMor-ornin' su-un on a green glass sea
Ma-agic gra-ass and the wind blows free
Softly talkin' by last night's fire side
See-ee the water, co-ome' with me
Take my hand and join me, and be free
Sun on your face, you're head held high
Lau-aughin' eye-eyes, teach me to fly
Child of time, don't care to know the reason why
See the warmth and come with me
Take my hand and join me, and be free
Ah-ah..., ah-ah-ah...
Evenin' shadows lie on the sand
He-eld in my brai-ains, held in her hand
Take a wa-alk and feel the spray on your face
See my sou-oul, co-ome with me
Take my hand and join me, and be free
Take my hand, join me, and you'll be free
Ta-ake my hand and be free
Ta-ake my hand and be free-ee
Ah-ah..., ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah...
