a child floating down on a cloud in the sky said sing me a song bout a lamb so i sang and he smiled so i sang again as he placed a reed in my hand and with my rural pen i stained the water clear and wrote this song for every little child to hear a song of innocence a song of goodness and light a song of innocence a song of goodness and light said the child hovering there on his cloud in the sky please sing me the song once again and when it was over he vanished from sight these are the words sung to him the one who s meek and mild you ll find is always near and i will sing this song for every child to hear a song of innocence a song of goodness and light a song of innocence a song of goodness and light a child floating down on a cloud in the sky said sing me a song bout a lamb a song of innocence a song of goodness and light a song of innocence a song of goodness and light a song of innocence
