“Sway” Lyrics by Nightwish

Child of mankind
Of yesterwynde
Sway away the woe in us
A grateful soul never needed much
Emanate the heavens
Through your touch

Sway over the mountaintops
Soar over the swaying crops
Adorn your garden with
A perfect day
Sway over the discontent
Ghost stories in a tent
Your house lands on the witch
See yourself

It has begun to snow again
In this perfect village, home
The birds have flown, the birds have known
Where you rest your worn-out wings

Sway over the mountaintops
Soar over the swaying crops
Adorn your garden with
A perfect day
Sway over the discontent
Ghost stories in a tent
Your house lands on the witch
See yourself
