Cast a pebble on the water

 Watch the ripples gently spreading

 Tiny daughter of the Camaguey

 We were meant to be together

 We were made for one another

 In a time it takes to grow up

 If only we were old enough

 Then they might leave us both alone



So take my hand in your hand

 Say, "It's great to be alive"

 No one's goin' to find us

 No matter how they try

 No one's goin' to find us

 It's wonderful, so wild beneath the sky



Sleepin' in the open

 See the shadows softly moving

 Take a train towards the Southlands

 Our time was never better

 We shall pass the sights of splendor

 On the door of a new life

 It had to happen soon I guess

 Whether it is wrong or it is right



So take my hand in your hand

 Say, "It's great to be alive"

 No one's goin' to find us

 No matter how they try

 No one's goin' to find us

 It's wonderful, so wild beneath the sky



We learned to be so graceful

 Watchin' wild horses runnin'

 And from those agile angels

 We knew the tide was turnin'

 For we watched as on the skyway

 The herons circled slowly

 While we mere mortals watched them fly

 Our sleepless eyes grew heavy



So take my hand in your hand

 Say, "It's great to be alive"

 No one's goin' to find us

 No matter how they try

 No one's goin' to find us

 It's wonderful, so wild beneath the sky



So take my hand in your hand

 Say, "It's great to be alive"

 No one's goin' to find us

 No matter how they try

 No one's goin' to find us

 It's wonderful, so wild beneath the sky
