freedom flow away, until awakened By
the pain, the butterfly of her soul,
struggled free from its cocoon, And
took flight on wings of spirit

In His Hands
When we feel like we are at the end
of our rope, When we don't see the
light and we give up hope,
It's then that the Lord reaches down
lifts us high, And give us the
strength to help us get by.
With faith in our hearts and God's
Love we know, All things are
possible, for he told us so.

Maybe we should develop a Crayola
bomb as our next secret weapon. A
happiness weapon. A beauty bomb.
And every time a crisis developed,
we would launch one. It would
explode high in the air - explode
softly - and send thousands,
millions, of little parachutes into
the air. Floating down to earth -
boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't
go cheap, either - not little boxes
of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with
the sharpener built right in. With
silver and gold and copper, magenta
and peach and lime, amber and umber
and all the rest. And people would
smile and get a little funny look on
their faces and cover the world with
imagination.
