Little one, beware, the world's a honeyed blade,
Little one, beware, the world's a honeyed blade,
Little one, beware.

Your treasure breathes a fragrant, heady air,
That draws the world, a hunger everywhere,
A hungry world, a foe beyond compare.
Little one, beware, the world's a honeyed blade,
Little one, beware, the world's a honeyed blade,
Little one, beware.

They shift like seasons, fleeting, swift, and strange,
While moonbeams dance upon each smiling face,
But in the heart, a different time and space.
Little one, beware, the world's a honeyed blade,
Little one, beware, the world's a honeyed blade,
Little one, beware.

How many veils conceal the hidden core,
Afraid of what they might have to restore,
A veil of fear, forevermore.
Little one, beware, the world's a honeyed blade,
Little one, beware, the world's a honeyed blade,
Little one, beware, the world's a honeyed blade,
Little one, beware.
