Sing With All Your Heart

When the scarlet velvet curtain goes up 
and the spotlight beams golden in the dark 
and you step out on the empty world stage, 
dressed in the long black silk gown of truth 
with pearls of dragons eyes that glitter bright, 
sing with all your heart of love for the world. 

When you shine with glamorous beauty of truth 
like goddess of love with long flowing hair 
as you rise from froth of the swirling sea 
and soar on rainbow wings above bright clouds 
where everyone in the world can see you, 
sing with all your heart of love for the world. 

When the man you love with fierce loyalty, 
since you give your whole soul to make him strong 
and guide his journey across the waste land 
and heal his wounds after fighting for truth, 
abandons you for daughter of the king, 
sing with all your heart of love for the world. 

When you walk the darkest road of despair, 
unprotected in wilderness of fear, 
and vulnerable to abuse of the cruel 
who use you and discard you with disdain, 
yet you rise again with courage to live, 
sing with all your heart of love for the world. 

When you escape from paradise of truth, 
after breaking free from hard chains of greed, 
and wander on signless road of nowhere, 
still searching for joy on bright stage of fame, 
and lie down to die on bridge of lost souls, 
sing with all your heart of love for the world. 

When you open door to your childhood home 
where statues of sand in cold empty rooms 
call out your true name in the voiceless wind 
and you return to the self you despise 
and you weep sad in dark garden of skulls, 
sing with all your heart of love for the world. 

When you look at the moon in the black sky 
that shines everywhere you are in the world 
but the moon never looks back down at you 
to ask you with bright compassionate smile 
how you are feeling in indifferent rain, 
sing with all your heart of love for the world. 

When you return to the theater stage, 
wearing mask of pure self you wish to be, 
eyes shining clear with memories of your quest 
to enchant people of the world with joy 
through clarion call of your divine voice, 
sing with all your heart of love for the world.
