stephen's song
child of my heart
baby of my bones
i'd never prayed
until i needed help with you
child of my eyes
baby of my blood
i'd never reached for grace
before i carried you
thank-you
for all you've brought me to
my child of manitou
child of many worlds
baby of no home
i'll grow the roots i need
to make a place for you
child of many ancestors
baby of no kin
i'll weave a tapestry
of family for you
thank-you
for all you've brought me to
my child of manitou
child of heartbreak
baby of greater joy
the gods have held me close
as i have learned to shelter you
child of destiny
baby of the song
the gods will teach us both
to sing their harmonies anew
thank-you
for all you've brought me to
my child of manitou.
