Spring Lotus Song for my friends Aurora and Robert This is the thing the thing about spring The thing about spring to make you sing If only in your heart silently When you sing in spring you sing about Living and about celebrating Everything leaving none of it out To sing in spring is the thing to bring Totality to reality Behind out of sight and out of mind A quintessentially simple thing Though out of season quite hard to find Happening all at once wherein we Are emboldened to abandon doubt A season though doubt would clutch and cling About everything in spring we sing We know what we are singing about Each with our note in the harmony This is when all of us finally Forget ourselves and get it in spring Everyone at once having their say Singing everything so it makes sense A sounding resounding tapestry Hearing it here in the inner ear Where only the inner eye can see When you sing in spring this is the way Manifestations of life appear When the signs of life are most intense And God is not far away but near As here in your heart waiting to be Your lotus unfolding day by day Ah! This is the thing the thing about spring The thing about spring to make you sing +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMX
