Jesse, of the rainbow eyes, is calling;
With a song of rapture and delight;
Calling me to rise up in the morning;
Catch with him the first rays of the light.
His eyes are wide, wide as all the kingdom;
That he roams through each and every day;
And that song he sings will always be a'singin' to me;
For he's a song himself that's heard in everything I say.
I talk with him and watch his face a'glowin';
With each new magic world that he unwinds;
His fingers reach to the sunshine;
As he wonders what's beyond it's fiery light.
And he gives to me the laughter of the heavens;
And the tiny tears that I have long forgotten;
And he reminds me to have faith despite the spinning of life;
And shows to me the truth to what I've got.
