Butterflies of light ignite a snug fire
Stars shimmer to revive my empty sky
Sunrise and dew in the morning respire
Birds of paradise sing a song so high
Gentle waves in a river softly sigh
A rainbow follows showers of fervor
Shining for a sparrow wishing to fly
My heart dances to the waltz of ardor
Of a Melody from heaven no lie
For ever to hold by God I'm not shy
