Such a beautiful song. I love how nursery rhymes are used to paint a picture of the human condition as well as offer a solution. One of my favorites.
Andreas Vollenweider and Eliza Gilkyson - Reason Enough (All the King's Men)
All the king's men stand still in a thunder stormDiamonds of rain on the skin of the battle worn
Eyes touching eyes in the sight of their long range guns
The bough that breaks the cradle falls
Could this be reason enough
The beast that down to Eden crawls
Reason enough
Starting into the depths of the darkest dream
Hurling your stones in the eye of the war machine
Howling like wolves to the moon for the sons of our daughters
The bough that breaks the cradle falls
Could this be reason enough
The beast that down to Eden crawls
Reason enough
Little drops of the water
Little grains of sand
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land
The bough that breaks the cradle falls
Could this be reason enough
The beast that down to Eden crawls
This could be reason enough
Hush little baby, dry your eyes
Claro que si, reason enough
Stars will fall for love to rise
Reason enough
Ladybug, ladybug fly away
Your house is on fire your children are gone
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again
She went to the cupboard
The cupboard was bare
Eight little indians never heard of heaven
One went to sleep and then there were seven
Ashes, ashes we all fall down
Hark, hark the dogs do bark
Beggars are coming to town
And if the great man cut down the great tree
What a splish-splash that would be
