My mother was the cold North wind,
My daddy was the son, of a railroad man from west of hell,
Where the trains don’t even run
Never heard the whistle of a lonesome freight,
Or the singing of it’s driving wheel,
No I, never did no wanderin’
Never did no wanderin’
Never did no wanderin’ after all
I wonder, as I wander out under the sky.
How Jesus the Saviour had come for to die
For poor orn’ry creatures like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky.
Tomorrow shall be my dancing day;
I would my true love did so chance
To see the legend of my play,
To call my true love to my dance;
Sing, oh! my love, oh! my love, my love, my love,
This have I done for my true love
Then was I born of a virgin pure,
Of her I took fleshly substance
Thus was I knit to man’s nature
To call my true love to my dance.
In a manger laid, and wrapped I was
So very poor, this was my chance
Betwixt an ox and a silly poor ass
To call my true love to my dance.
Dance then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the dance, said he
And I’ll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I’ll lead you all in the dance, said he
I can’t dance, I can’t talk.
Only thing about me is the way that I walk.
I can’t dance, I can’t sing.
I’m just standing here selling everything.
I won’t dance, don’t ask me
I won’t dance, don’t ask me
I won’t dance, Madame, with you
My heart won’t let my feet do things that they should do

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I’m gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
The crow that’s black
My little turtle dove
Shall change its color white
Before I am false to the one that I love
The noon day shall be night my dear
The noon day shall be night
[Someone mentioned birds? :D]
[A crow flew to me, kept its distance.
Such a proud creation
I saw it’s soul, envied it’s pride
But needed nothing it had
Don’t give me love, don’t give me faith.
Wisdom not pride, give innocence instead.
Don’t give me love, I’ve had my share.
Beauty not rest, give me truth instead.
A dove came to me, had no fear.
It rested on my arm.
I touched its calm, envied its love.
But needed nothing it had.
A swan of white, she came to me.
The lake mirrored her beauty sweet.
I kissed her neck, adored her grace.
But needed nothing she could give.](NIGHTWISH - The Crow, The Owl and The Dove (OFFICIAL FAN VIDEO) - YouTube)
And if that mockingbird don’t sing and that ring don’t shine
Imma break that birdie’s neck
I’ll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every carat, don’t fuck with dad
Father of day, Father of night,
Father of black, Father of white,
Father, who build the mountain so high,
Who shapeth the cloud up in the sky,
Father of time, Father of dreams,
Father, who turneth the rivers and streams.
Father, hear thy children’s call
Humbly at thy feet we fall
Prodigals confessing all
We beseech thee, hear us!
We thy call have disobeyed
Into paths of sin have strayed
And repentence have delayed
We beseech thee, hear us!
Come sing about Love!
That made us first to be
Come sing about Love!
That made the stone and tree
Come sing about Love!
That draws us lovingly
We beseech thee, Hear us!
Careful the things you say
Children will listen
Kids! They are just impossible to control!
(Soon you’ll be old enough to be)
Kids! With their awful clothes and their rock an’ roll!
(Another teenage delinquent)
Why can’t they be like you were,
Perfect in every way?
What’s the matter with kids today.
Rock and roll is here to stay
It will never die
It was meant to be that way
Though I don’t know why
Tell me why the stars do shine
Tell me why the ivy twines
Tell me why the sky’s so blue
And then I’ll tell you just why I love you
Hey, you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration Mr. Blue Sky’s up there waitin’
And today is the day we’ve waited for
Wonderful baby livin’ on love
The sandman says maybe he’ll take you above,
Up where the girls fly on ribbons and bows,
Where babies float by just
Counting their toes.
Wonderful baby nothin’ but new
The world has gone crazy, I’m glad I’m not you.
At the beginning or is it the end?
It goes in and comes out and starts over again.
Hush little baby, don’t say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It’s just the beasts under your bed,
In your closet, in your head
Exit: light
Enter: night
Grain of sand
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We’re off to never never land
