[00:37.23]Mama plays a queen on the hill built on a dream
[00:40.04]
[00:41.09]While the children play in the field
[00:44.87]Papa smokes the pipe of a sweet and better life
[00:49.30]But how strong is the shield
[00:59.04]Can peace be found on the carpet above ground
[01:02.52]Where sky is forever blue
[01:05.83]So let it pass baby now  the slow and riding cloud
[01:10.31]Which may take me from you
[01:20.08]
[01:27.67]Many things a man can lose
[01:29.55]His self  his rights  his views
[01:31.90]But never his heart or his love
[01:35.52]So take this hand of mine and climb baby  climb
[01:40.51]To the hill up above
[01:45.89]
[01:49.32]Now you can play a queen on the hill built on a dream
[01:52.44]
[01:53.41]While our children play in the field
[01:57.41]I can smoke the pipe of a sweet and better life
[02:01.15]And trust in the strength of a shield
[02:22.90]
[04:27.95]So trust in you love  and we'll see up above
[04:32.01]And let light pass like a wheel
[04:35.94]Don't take the chance of life's sacred dance
[04:40.30]Kiss the strength of a shield
[04:49.48]The seeker will be found by the look on the ground
[04:53.66]And to his wish he will yield
[04:57.03]Fate will have it's word  of course
[04:59.90]But time will change its course
[05:01.33]And hold the strength of a shield
