The Girl
She's been far away from home too long
She sits by a free flowing river
She is listening to her favourite song
A song her father once sang to her
She stares unfocused at the waters run
She shivers briefly in the warming sun

All alone in this land
Should she go back home
Or build a home in this land
Should she go back to her own

A man is walking by the riverside
He sees the girl in wistful reverie
He startled her and then apologised
His heart went out to her in sympathy
Instinctively he feels she's all alone
Where does she come from where does she call home

All alone in this land
Should she go back home
Or build a home in this land
Should she go back to her own

She recognised the kindness in his eyes
She thinks he's just about her father's age
He paused to turn and leave her with a smile
Surprised she shyly raised her hand to wave
To him a colliding of dust motes in space
For her a heavenly sign of divine saving grace

All alone in this land
Should she go back home
Or build a home in this land
Should she go back to her own

She's been far away from home too long
She sits by a free flowing river
She is listening to her favourite song
A song her father once sang to her
She stares unfocused at the waters run
She shivers briefly in the warming sun

All alone in this land
Should she go back home
Or build a home in this land
Should she go back to her own
