Clap clap
Sound of summer
Flip-flop walking

Baby girl too shy to shine
Let everybody else take the light
Didn’t want to burn too bright
So she kept it all inside
Little girl go beat your drum
Go and see what all you can become
Playin’ small don’t serve no one
Face your fears and you will overcome 
Cause the tears that we been cryin’
Been workin’ overtime
It’s about time that we got our joyful
That we got our joyful on
Don’t be afraid to live out loud
Never squash who you are be proud
You’re a universal sound
Whatcha gotta say, say it loud
Baby don’t ya act demure
So nobody else feels insecure
Be yourself and liberate the world
Don’t ya be a pebble be a pearl
Lyrics by: Nikka Costa
Uncanny words mirrored
In missing glass shards
Spilling forth as droplets
Of fragile strength
Struggling inbetween
Mind and heart
Holding enough love
To answer questions
And fill in the spaces
Being there beneath
Without a plan;smiling,
Dancing with wolves
Rolling in belly laughter
Hemisphere smoke signals
Soul light, spirit flight
Upon breathe of song
Giving birth to sounds
Where there is no book
Of melody and harmony
Rising with the dawn
Where no box of crayons
Have such colours
Yet somehow with you
They can be
Heard and seen
Rising to divine heights
Of infinity.
