My daughter, my daughter, come and play
No my father, I cannot stay
But I have built a world for you
I am sorry father, it will not do
What of the trees that dance in the breeze
I am sorry father, they will not please
What of the cave where sprites rave
I am sorry father, I do not crave

I will rumble and I will quake
I will destroy and I will unmake
I will cave in and I will tear down
I will burn and I will drown
Unless oh child
Oh daughter you stay
Oh no my father
Not even a single day

What of the stream where fish strobe and beam
I am sorry father, I am not keen
Then tell me child, what do you need?
What can I make to keep you seed?
I am sorry father, I need the sky
Where my mother is free to fly
I need the sea where sisters drift
I need the mist where grandmothers sift

I will rumble and I will quake
I will destroy and I will unmake
I will cave in and I will tear down
I will burn and I will drown
Unless oh child
Oh daughter you stay
Oh no my father
Not even a single day

It is not you, you are not to blame
But father and daughter are not the same
You build on earth, you call it home
My kin and I must rove and roam

I will rumble and I will quake
I will destroy and I will unmake
I will cave in and I will tear down
I will burn and I will drown
Unless oh child
Oh daughter you stay
Oh no my father
Not even a single day
