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.

Quantum Leap - Michael Jackson

I looked for you in hill and dale
I sought for you beyond the pale
I searched for you in every nook and cranny
My probing was at times uncanny
But everywhere I looked I found
I was just going round and round
In every storm, in every gale
I could hear your silent tale

You appeared wherever I went
In every taste, in every scent
I thought I was in a trance
In every quiver I felt your dance
In every sight I saw your glance
You were there, as if by chance

Even so, I have faltered
Despite the fact, my life has altered
All my doubts were struggles in vain
Of judgments made in memories of pain
Only now, by letting go
I can bask in your glow
No matter where I stray or flow
I see the splendor of your show
In every drama I am the actor
In every experience the timeless factor

In every dealing, every deed
You are there, as the seed
I know now, for I have seen
What could have happened could have been
There is no need to try so hard
For in your sleeve you hold the card
For every fortune, every fame
The Kingdom's here for us to claim
In every fire, every hearth
There's a spark gives new birth

To all those songs never sung
All those longings in hearts still young
Beyond all hearing, beyond all seeing
In the core of your Being
Is a field that spans infinity
Unbounded pure is the embryo of divinity
If we could for one moment BE
In an instant we would see
A world where no one has suffered or toiled
Of pristine beauty never soiled
Of sparkling waters, singing skies
Of hills and valleys where no one dies

That enchanted garden, that wondrous place
Where we once frolicked in times of grace
In ourselves a little deep
In that junkyard in that heap
Beneath that mound of guilt and sorrow
Is the splendor of another tomorrow
If you still have promises to keep
Just take that plunge, take that leap.

i carry your heart with me - ee cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Stairway to Heaven - Robert Anthony Plant

There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings

In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

It makes me wonder

Oooh makes me wonder

There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
and my spirit is crying for leaving

In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Oooh it makes me wonder

Really makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason

And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen

Yes there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

And it makes me wonder

Ohhh

Your head is hummin' and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him

Dear lady can you hear the wind blow
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whisperin' wind...

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls

There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show

How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all

To be a rock and not to roll

And she's buying a stairway to heaven...

- A song composed by Robert Anthony Plant
