Ev’ry Song

Works & lyrics, 1992

Have you ever heard me
Sing a song for you?
Have you ever heard me
Sing a song for an Other?
Have you ever let the words
And music in?
I wonder
Have you been listening?

Have you ever seen me
Dance for you?
Have you ever seen me
Dance for an Other?
Have you watched my body
Movement alive for you
I wonder
Have you been looking?

 Ev'ry song
A song for you
Ev'ry dance
A dance to your being
Ev'ry word
A gift to you
Ev'ry moment
A lifetime revealing

Have you ever felt
My body sing to you?
Have you ever felt
Me touch an Other?
Fingertips touching
Holding you in the moonlight
I wonder
Have you been feeling?

Have you ever heard
A poem I wrote for you?
Images selected
Just for an Other?
Poetry divine
Words straight from the heart
I wonder
Have you been dreaming?

Ev'ry song
A song for you
Ev'ry dance
A dance to your being
Ev'ry word
A gift to you
Ev'ry moment
A lifetime revealing

Have you ever known me
There just for you
Have you ever known me
There just for an Other
White light
A gift from the core of me
I wonder
Have you been opening?

Have you ever felt my soul
Reaching out to you?
Have you ever felt my soul
Reaching out to an Other?
The singing of my heart
Calling you to dance
I wonder
Have you been feeling me (inside you)?

Ev'ry song
A song for you
Ev'ry dance
A dance to your being
Ev'ry word
A gift to you
Ev'ry moment
A lifetime revealing
