A song of joy

I can hear a song

a song of joy

of praise

of consciousness

and love.

The song lives deep

in my heart

and in the heart

of everyone I’m sure

and I long to hear the song

sung full and loud

with all the hearts together

and I long to hear

the tender notes

ringing out

and for the song that lives

in everyone to drown out

all the other sounds

and for there to be only

this song being sung,

this song of joy

and praise

and consciousness

and love.
