Cloudless sky on a desert day Laughing as he makes his way From his tiny little house of clowns To Sahara dunes to tear them down Sights set, he's free, unlike me As I could only wish to be His path unsure, I wish to see I follow close in secrecy And all the while Change will come The laughing child with us Will be one and we'll be laughing We'll be laughing Three souls strong, softly We move along to the motion Of green, fading red earthen clay Our father's soul of yesterday Minutes into hours into days into years Seem to pass in a moment We looked in silence and he understood As only the laughing child could And he always knew us He could see right through us Eyes open wide He could see us on the inside So goodbye cloudless sky, goodbye desert day Laughing as we make our way To our tiny little house of clowns Starlit dusk silhouette, desert mounds Shadows fall shaping light Upon us close the darkest night We speak of our day in words of our own We give thanks to the moon and the sun And all the while Change will come The laughing child with us Will be one and we'll be laughing We'll be laughing We'll be laughing
