Lyrics - Get Thy Bearings
Summer warm and lazy Lemon sun and hazy Remember? Popsicle red on my chin Bikes and plastic army men And no sign of September Something in my seven years was telling me To thank the Author of such a biography
CHORUS Nonny Nonny Odle'ee River washes over me Up for air and carry me away Nonny Nonny Odle'igh Run the earth and watch the sky Praying hard and waiting for the day Nonny Nonny Odle'ay
My adolescent 70's Reads just like the pevensies Adventures 'Cause every perfect now and then I cought a glimpise of Aslan's mane And I longed for His treasure Something in His mystery was drawing me To love the Author of my own biography
CHORUS Nonny Nonny Odle'ee River washes over me Up for air and carry me away Nonny Nonny Odle'igh Run the earth and watch the sky Praying hard and waiting for the day Nonny Nonny Odle'ay
All grown up and living fine Biographies all intertwined With billions And soonHe turnsthe final page We'll look the Author in the face Then the book really begins 'Cause something tells me all these years of memories Are only the first sentence of eternity
CHORUS Nonny Nonny Odle'ee River washes over me Up for air and carry me away Nonny Nonny Odle'igh Run the earth and watch the sky Praying hard and waiting for the day... Nonny Nonny Odle'ay
