he would climb a cactus
and build a house inside
then play squash in canyons
until his racquet died
talking to the mountains
you'd find her in debate
she would race the sun
but set ten seconds late

from the great wall of china
to the carolinas
there sits a little child
painting the country wild

dragons in the grasses
play games of hide and seek
while we take naps flying
on a bald eagle's beak
now the earth wears jewels
pierced through its blue earlobes
so the waterfalls
turn into silken robes

from the great wall of china
to the carolinas
there sits a little child
painting the country wild
