Umbilical Cord of Heart and Mind

Through a field of lilies
she strolls.
The forest ahead,
an ocean below;
deeper she goes.
The shade becomes dark;
only fireflies glow.
(only fireflies glow)
What do you know?
Tell me secrets of this life.
What is this yearning
that lingers inside?
Fireflies glow.
The fireflies glow.
They scatter,
she shadows;
deeper she goes
till there is light
where a sunflower grows.
(a sunflower grows)
What do you know?
Tell me secrets of this life.
What am I missing
that haunts me at night?
And the sunflower sings
as the fireflies glow
Let the wind lead the way,
let it render you free.
This is no life
in which you lead.
See the beauty in me
bloom in those willing to be
your somebody.
You’re somebody.
