Lyrics

[Verse 1] Little Johanna, girl of my prairie Help me fill this house with living words Further up and further in Let 'em fly from our lips just like birds Just like birds [Verse 2] All the dark woods from Pakistan The glory, the glory lodged inside Strive to enter the narrow gate, child Into the fountain that flows deep and wide [Chorus] He will never leave you My much-afraid He waits patient In our prayers unprayed [Verse 3] Now stay close to me In and amongst the trees I'll carry your shoes, child You run and play beneath the eaves Our faith will come by the hearing A whisper in the leaves Listen, Johanna, hear his voice In the drone of the bees [Chorus] He will never leave you My much-afraid He waits patient In our prayers unprayed
