[Chorus]
EmOutside oDver there
EmWhere the war was rDaging
EmRun little child fDar from home
the Clord will Dtake you wEmith him
[Verse 1]
As Emmushrooms high as Dmountains
Came from Cneptunes submariEmnes
A lEmittle girl named IDda
Lived in a Cshack up by the Emsea
Her Emdaddy was away Dat war
Her mCother'd lost her mEmind
So EmIda in the aDrbour softly Csang Dher Emlullaby
CTo hush her baby sister and to Ccalm her mother's sEmhakes
And Emby the waves a-cDrashing for her fCather Dshe would Emwait
[Verse 2]
EmOne evening Ida saDng her songs Csoft as May breeze Emblows
When a Emblinding flash of lDight came her eCyes began to Emclose
EmDevil's in their hDooded cloaks throCugh the window Emclimbed
EmThey took her sister frDom her crib and Cran off iDnto the Emnight
CWhen Ida looked to check the crib when fiCnally she aroEmse,
EmShe saw a figure Dmade of ice Cmelting Dby the Emstove
[Chorus]
EmOutside oDver there
EmWhere the war was rDaging
EmRun little child fDar from home
the Clord will Dtake you wEmith him
[Verse 3]
EmIda put on her mother'Ds coat and wCalked out to the cliEmffs,
The sEmky was scarred with nDapalm the hiClls were drowned with Emmist
EmShe buried a rose iDn the ground and staCrted up the rEmoad
To Emfind her sister Din the night and Csafely Dbring her Emhome
There were sColdiers in the twilight, thieves dCrinking by the cEmaves
She just lCistened out for her Ddaddy's voice to come Cdrifting Dacross the Emwaves
[Verse 4]
EmOn the edge of Neptune's kiDngdom there was a Cforest and it was Emsaid,
That Emany man that wDent in there was Cnever seen Emagain,
But IEmda clutched her Dmother's coat and Cpressed on through the Emtrees,
For in Emthe ground she Dsaw the tracks of Cwretched DDevil's Emfeet
CThe path ahead grew fainter as the bCranches tied in kEmnots
And EmIda felt like Devery step she Ctook was Dbeing Emwatched
[Chorus]
EmOutside oDver there
EmWhere the war was rDaging
EmRun little child fDar from home
the Clord will Dtake you wEmith him
[Verse 5]
EmThere deep among the wiDld wood the Cgirl began to Emtire
When she Emcame across a Dcabin windows Cflickered with a Emfire
She kEmnocked upon the wDooden door an Cold man showed his Emface
EmWith kind eyes like her Dfather's and a Cbeard Dlong and Emgrey
She sCaw her sister sleeping near two angels wearing hEmoods
She Emhad some supper then sDlept a while to Cdream Dabout thEme woods.
After Emthree days passed the Dmist had cleared the Csky was clear and Embright,
She tEmook her sister in her aDrms and Cbid the man goEmodbye
She rEman back through the foDrest saw no Csoldiers nor no Emthieves,
Till Emshe found herself bacDk up at the Cshack bDy the Emsea
But when Cshe flung her arms around her mother she shed tEmears
For the Emwoman stood befDore her was blind and aCged by Dthirty Emyears
She said "EmOh my darling IDda, my wCait is at an Emend,
As this roEmse bush grew I pDrayed each day that Cwe would Dmeet Emagain",
So they sCat out in the evening and the sun shone all aEmround
Till eEmarly the next mDorning when their Cbodies Dwere Emfound.
[Chorus]
EmOutside oDver there
EmWhere the war was rDaging
EmRun little child fDar from home
the Clord will Dtake you wEmith him
