nine dancing zebras

from poacher's night by Tim O'Connor

/

lyrics

the man who was given nine dancing zebras on his birthday
climbs the mountain not to conquer
but discover enchantments waiting there
and cherish while enfolded in the rapture of the beauty
the butterflys
his gentle eyes
beholding wonders like a child

wild with innocence and wisdom
come from leaf and stone
the man who was given nine dancing zebras on his birthday
is coming home

the man who was given nine dancing zebras on his birthday
is a golden thread woven though the tapestry reminders of our lives
beckoning like a piper pied and fay
oh if freedom were a kingdom
then his jester sits atop the throne

wild with innocence and wisdom
come from leaf and stone
the man who was given nine dancing zebras on his birthday
is coming home

the man who was given nine dancing zebras on his birthday
has an artists heart that gives and gives
and never ever stops
and the colours of his paintings are not captured
but free to dance and show their pretty jewels
celebrating with emancipated smiles

wild with innocence and wisdom
come from leaf and stone
the man who was given nine dancing zebras on his birthday
is coming home
