O Presente
Jane Schmetterling
The Present
Lights and colors to create
In the afternoon, the Sun's embrace
As night arrives to carry me
Stars sing with quiet grace
Today I'll sing what stirs within
This magic’s song, my soul's release
It shines a light across my mind
Like waves on endless seas
I’ll always lean on love’s pure force
A gift from light that chose this course
And it has come to stay, I feel
Inspiration true and real
Lights and colors to create
In the afternoon, the Sun's embrace
As night arrives to carry me
Stars sing with quiet grace
Feel the energy of creation’s hand
In this world, art’s light will stand
Dissolving shadows with its fire
A meeting rare, a rise, inspired
When the deep night bids us close our eyes
A kind return breaks through the skies
And in its glow, a new light’s way
The enchantment will awake
Lights and colors to create
In the afternoon, the Sun's embrace
As night arrives to carry me
Stars sing with quiet grace
Lights and colors to create
In the afternoon, the Sun's embrace
As night arrives to carry me
Stars sing with quiet grace
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
When night arrives
To carry me
To carry me
