The world is great: the birds all fly from me,
The stars are golden fruit upon a tree
All of reach: my little sister went,
And I am lonely.
The world is great: I tried to mount the
Above the pines, where the light lies so still,
it rose higher: little Lisa went
And I am lonely.
The world is great: the wind comes rushing by.
wonder where it comes from; sea birds cry
And my heart: my little sister went,
And I am lonely.
The world is great: the people laugh and talk,
make loud holiday: how fast they walk!
I'm lame, push me: little Lisa went,
And I am lonely.
