We sat there in a circle, cross-legged on the floor.
We all had our hopes and fears as we entered through the door.
We talked about beliefs we held and how we had received them.
Taught to us in schools and homes, and churches we believed in.
You’re fat, you’re thin, you’re short, you’re tall,
you can not throw or catch a ball,
you’re smart, you’re dumb, you’re young, you’re old,
these things and more we once were told.
When a voice filled the room, and said “close your eyes”
you walked ‘round the circle, then you whispered…
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
MY LOVE DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE THINGS YOU SAY OR DO
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
THERE’S LOVE INSIDE FOR ALL OF ME
AND LOVE FOR ALL OF YOU.
I opened my eyes and something had changed
thought the room still looked the same.
There was laughter, there were tears of joy
where once there had been pain.
I am radiant as the morning sun
Strong as an an oak tree,
beautiful as the brightest rainbow
Wild as the open sea.
But when I forget, as I often do
You’re fat, you’re thin, you’re short, you’re tall,
you can not throw or catch a ball,
you’re smart, you’re dumb, you’re young, you’re old,
these things and more we once were told.
I remember your voice and it whispers.. Chorus x2
