A tender seed deep below the earth
Promise of spring ready to burst
Growing with grace into a tree
Fulfilling destiny
Blue dragonfly, anxious and still
Cry of a wolf alone on a hill
Laden mimosas lean in the rain
Starlings take flight again
These are the ties that bind
Force of the moon pulling the tide
As it has been through time
These are the ties that bind
Form and flesh, spirit and bone
Simple and complex, a child is born
Vulnerable he lies, innocent one
Asleep in your arms
These are the ties that bind...
Sharing time with the ones you love
Long lost friends pick up right where they left off
Memories enduring year after year
Smiles and tears
Promise of spring ready to burst
Growing with grace into a tree
Fulfilling destiny
Blue dragonfly, anxious and still
Cry of a wolf alone on a hill
Laden mimosas lean in the rain
Starlings take flight again
These are the ties that bind
Force of the moon pulling the tide
As it has been through time
These are the ties that bind
Form and flesh, spirit and bone
Simple and complex, a child is born
Vulnerable he lies, innocent one
Asleep in your arms
These are the ties that bind...
Sharing time with the ones you love
Long lost friends pick up right where they left off
Memories enduring year after year
Smiles and tears
