Leave the bird upon her nest
Do not try to clip her wings protect the little things love
That is best This world will tell you take just what you want
But you know a cage would only kill her song, oh darling
Do not harm.
Leave some flowers in the field
Do not take more that your share Leave some brilliance there love
For beauty heals In life we want To keep, to hold, to own
But it's true some things are better left alone, oh darling
Do not harm.
I have known pain and want
Oh the sting of ruination to my heart
So I have learned to gently walk
'Til all I know of living now is
Do not harm
Baby this world is on fire
But don't you give it any fuel Be water to the flames dear
With your sweet song Only love can douse the anger and the hurt
Draw the seed of hope Out of the ash and dirt, Oh my darling
Do not harm.
Should you know pain and want
Oh the sting of ruination to my heart
Then may you learn to gently walk
Love my little prayer for you is
Do not harm.
You'll be ready soon to fly
As you shake the dust behind Always keep in mind love
You're meant to heal In the way you hold the flowers and the bird
How you softly tread with love upon the earth, So my dear one
Hear my heart, Oh my darling
Do not harm.
