SARAH'S SONG

                       by Stephen Fearing


                   Sarah call your mother June
              Tell her she'll be a grandmother soon
                Hang your head and pack your bags
                   In the shelter of your room

                      Sarah you and I alone
              Will travel far from your family home
                 Make our bed and lay our heads
                    With a family of our own

                   Sarah we were not to blame
                   Other people feel the same
                  Morals just refuse to change
                      Refuse to fit the day

               When our child has cleared her eyes
                And caught her first glimpse of the horizon
                She will see shapes in the clouds
                    That we would never find

                       Sarah can't you see
                Life is what your mind conceives
                       And responsibility
                   Is what your heart believes

               When our child has cleared her eyes
           And caught her first glimpse of the horizon
                She will see shapes in the clouds
                    That we would never find

                   Sarah call your mother June
