When babies smile - Michael Jackson

When dreamers dream and kiss their lover

And rainbows weave and splash their color

Those are moments so gloriously alive

We take the plunge, take the dive

Into the abyss

We are suspended awhile

Those are moments when babies smile.

Those are moments when fate is unsealed

Nothing is impossible and we are healed

We can soar, we can fly

Walk on fire, navigate the sky

In the light of a glittering star

There’s no distance, nothing is far

Those are moments of innocent guile

In the glow

We are suspended awhile

Those are moments when babies smile.

Those are moments when the heart is tender

When seascapes gleam in magnificient splendor

When the laughter of Heaven reverberates the Earth

And we are renewed in a new birth

In a timeless Eternity

In the angels’ fraternity

We romp and roll

The playground of our soul

In the twilight

We are suspended awhile

Those are moments when babies smile.

Those are moments we’re one with God

All is well, nothing is odd

In silent reflection

We feel our perfection

We are the source, we are the crucible

Nothing can hurt us, for we are invincible

There is no sin, there is no sinner

We can only win, we have felt the glimmer

In the bliss

We’re floating awhile

Those are moments when babies smile.

Kingdoms topple, lose their class

Civilizations crumble, ages pass

Turbulent tempests ravage the seas

Violent killings, despite our pleas

But dewdrops sparkle when children play

Tyrants cry, there’s nothing to slay

Fairies dance and globins sing

All are crowned, all are king

In the Garden

We frolic awhile

Those are moments when babies smile.
