The Beauty of All Things

Melody:

There is something within you.

There is something in everything that is:

Unbelievable beauty, flowing from deep inside.

Don't be shocked or surprised if I lift your disguise.

Realize that I can see it in all things, all, but especially you.

There is something we carry,

Like a rhythm that tells us who we are.

It's the rhythm of living. Hear, and we'll come to see

who we can really be-fore Time erases time.

It's sublime. And I can see it in all things, all, but especially you.

The time is upon us to lose our indifference.

For Time isn't holding us anywhere. I declare:

Life gives savoir faire.

Clean the windows of your inner star

And see things as they are:

An infinity of light like a torch in the night.

For the Sun and the Moon and the Stars

Are living within you.

You are shining in everything that is.

Solo:

Here's what I see in your eyes right now:

Ten thousand lives over many years like leaves on the vine of this morning's glory,

The determination of years coming to fruition

In the ever-present now of your life, unfolding now in the flowering of days.

The constellation of stars in the sky are like a fugue of light in velvet hands.

The melody never ends, echoing again and again.

Nearer still sounds a melody leading through darkened rooms,

Playing like the Sun on the water; like its reflection in your downcast eyes.

When will you come to see you like I do?

And know you like I do? And hear you like I do?

And love you like I do?
