Higher Learning/Contemplation Lyrics

Little child lost - in the world
Little boy - little girl
Little child lost in the earth
The seed drags you down
Down deep into the earth
Down deep

Each time, each time we give
Each time,
We add a word
We add a breath
We cast a note
We slide a bead
Upon the necklace of all human knowledge

In the world
Let it come down
Let it come down
Oh my, mother, father, sister, brother, children
Let it come down
In the heart, coming down
The earth, underground, they're waiting
