Child Of The Wild Blue Yonder

(Album: Dear John - 1999)

She has the wind as a witness
She has feelings that fly by night
She believes in forgiveness
But it's not love if it holds too tight
And you can fly beside her
But you gotta go when your heart says no
She lets the bright lights guide her
Through the rain and the driving snow
Where it comes from she don't know

She's a child of the wild blue yonder
Flying out of here
She's a child of the wild blue yonder
Born in an angel's tear

But if you see her falling
That's just a little trick she does
She makes a dive for the pain that's calling
Heads for the clouds like a little dove
She can't help her laughing
She can't stop your crying days
Sometimes it hurts to be having
That kinda love that bears away

She's a child of the wild blue yonder
Born in an angel's tear
She's a child of the wild blue yonder
Flying out of here

Medicine woman raised her
Spirit father praised her
Through their love she was set free
From a baby kicking and screaming
To a full blood woman dreaming
With the power just to be

She's a child of the wild blue yonder...
