Rejoice In the Sun

[Deedra]

Rejoice in the Sun

Composed by Diane Lampert and Peter Schickele.

Sung by Joan Baez in the movie "Silent Running" (1972).

 

Heels of children running wild

In the sun.

Like a forest is your child, growing wild

In the sun.

Doomed in his innocence

In the sun.

 

Gather your children to your side

In the sun.

Tell them all they love will die.

Tell them why

In the sun.

 

Tell them it's not too late.

Cultivate, one by one.

Tell them to harvest and rejoice

In the sun.
