Lyrics

I’m a son of Mother Nature
A son of Father Time
I’ve got a lot of neighbours
The million stars that shine
And they’re all friends of mine
Ev’ry robin is my brother
They sing their songs to me
The tiny blackeyed daisies
The mighty redwood tree
They’re all my family
Then why do I feel so lonely
Like a king on an empty throne
There’s one thing that’s missing only
A true love to call my own
Won’t you listen Mother Nature and listen Father Time
Please help to find someone to fill these arms of mine
Mother Nature and Father Time
