Hey little children, don’t you cry no more
A kinder wind is blowing, soon you’ll all be warm
In a much better place than from where you were torn
Food to quench your hunger, shelter from the storm
Darkness turned to laughter
The past a souvenir
In the promise of a new day – it all became so clear
And it took away the heart of me, it opened my eyes
That you are all a part of me, stars in the sky
Like a veil lifting over me, discerning anew
I knew it wasn’t magic then,
I know that it’s you
Hey languid mama, trade away your tears
And your ocean of sadness, and your deep well of fears
See the wonder within you and I know you just might
Trade a dance of surrender, for a dance of delight
Your darkness turned to laughter
Your past a souvenir
In the promise of a new day – it all became so clear
And it took away the heart of me, it opened my eyes
That you are all a part of me, stars in the sky
Like a veil lifting over me, discerning anew
I knew it wasn’t magic then,
I know that it’s you
A Dance of Delight
