Noa and Stevie Wonder - Child of Man (incomplete)

Noa and Stevie Wonder performing in the 1998 tv special "To Life! America Celebrates Israel's 50th".

Sorry for the not-so-good video and audio quality.

CHILD OF MAN

Lyrics: Achinoam Nini (Noa)
Music: Achinoam Nini (Noa) / Gil Dor


If I were a desert flower
All winter long I'd pain and cower
Spring would make me sing
My voice would ring
As tiny buds begin to bloom
In spring I'd blossom and forget
The winter's gloom.

If I were a brook of water
Kissed by the frost along my borders
Spring would make me sing
my voice would ring
As I'd release my ice chains
In spring I'd bubble and forget the
winter's rains.

But I am only a child of man
I am only a child of man
Just an innocent child of man

Don't look so surprised as my
eyes shine and glow
It's the sunlight in the skies that
is making me so.

If I were a joyful songbird
All winter long so cold and somber
Spring would make me sing
My voice would ring like tiny bells
on scarves of silk
A song as beautiful and pure as
mother's milk.

But I am only a child of man
I am only a child of man
Just an innocent child of man

Don't look so surprised as my eyes
Shine and glow
It's the sunlight in the skies
That is making me so.

Don't be surprised
But this look in my eyes
Like a flower or tree
I will bloom in the spring
I will shed all my woes
As the green grass grows
Like a flower or tree
I will throw my head back and sing

If I were a desert flower, desert flower

I love this song, does anyone know if there's another video or anything for it? Even if it's without the wonderful Stevie Wonder... Thanks for putting it up!

You're welcome mamamayacat . I've been searching myself for another version by Noa but so far have found none.

Hi krzifngrs & tinekevandekerkhof. I instantly fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. I had no idea who Noa was but when she sang the first line I knew the number was going to be something special so I immediately pressed the record button. LOL

Noa is just so nice - dancing and jumping around... `SHALOM NOA!!! Make some very beautiful more classical Songs too...

כזאת מדהימה! הפשטות שבה מקסימה

Sweet!!! I remember seeing this performance on tv back in 1998. I think I videotaped it. There is very little of Noa's music on youtube or anywhere else. She's brilliant,

[william0000000]

The version with the Pat Metheny group is way cool, but there doesn't seem to be a video version.

[sooperfukker]

best video quality ever.. that's a thriving 1/5

[anaibizamoon]
