The world
Beyond that door
Is so whimsical
It introduces me
To such gentle encounters
So that I can keep walking forward
Again and again
It’s such a small thing
Hey
Why is my heart dancing?
Why is my heart bouncing?
Lively meals
And the smiling faces of loved ones
Is all it takes
Hey
Why does my heart ring out?
Why does my heart feel so full?
I don’t know why
But the tears come out
Deep in my heart
A wish rises to the surface
And expands
Until it comes full circle
Reaching someone
One person, then another
Being passed along
In the corners of each day
Hey
Why does the greenery bud?
Why do the fish swim?
Spring, summer, fall, winter
That cycle continues infinitely
Hey
Why do the children run?
Why do I sing?
I don’t know why
But the tears come out
Thank you
I love you
Hey
The power to move the world
Might just be tears
They’re packed with an irrepressible love
Hey
Why does my heart ring out?
Why does my heart feel so full?
A simple nod
The sharing of grief
That’s all it takes
Hey
It’s such a tiny feeling
But it always rises and comes back around
You’re fine just the way you are
You don’t have to pretend
Thank you always
Thank you
I love you
Thank you
