Lyrics to “The Night The World Wept As One:”
Is it a dream, is it a poem, is it a prayer?
If I close my eyes, I know I’ve always been there…
Dear Darlin,’
When stars fall, and you can’t find North any longer,
find a river, and let it ride, a river is mother to the world.
It will ride with you, it will ride you,
A river will ride you back to me.
Dear Darlin’,
When promises fail, and you can’t find a friend any longer,
find the ocean, find the sea —
the sea is mother to the galaxy.
Let it fly you there, let it fly you there,
it will fly you home to me.
Dear Darlin’,
When stars fall,
and the world weeps as one and longer —
find the butterfly flyin’ on the mountain,
watch it send new breezes to the shore.
Can the love over here
Become the hope over there?
When I shout into the canyon,
and it echoes back with grace,
“what kings cannot control,
the artists already know” —
the world is one for you and me.

Thank you!
Take care of yourselves, use this time at home to find your creative talents, make a world family of art — instead of sickness and fear — for future generations to identify who we are as one world, right now. — Heidi
