Wake me from indecision Set me back on the trail Let me again envision Magic and fairytales Work is the sole provision Everything else just pales Inside the words there's rhythm That gathers the wind in my sails Oh - carry me softly, softly Oh - I'm preparing for something, something If it takes a life to earn, then my vow is still to learn A fervid servant till the womb gives birth Finding the way in silence Far from the guns of war Each little step a victory Capturing evermore Nothing can match the feeling Gone is what went before The mind has a taste of freedom Hearing the spirit roar Oh - so carry me softly, softly Oh - I'm preparing for something, something If it takes a life to earn, then my vow is still to learn A fervid servant till the womb gives birth And each day that you fill with the love in your quill You'll stay a fervid servant till the womb gives birth
