When summer comes you can finally see the people you have never met before.

lyrics

Wrap your arms around us world/Song for Eve

The breeze played softly with the summer leaves
The sun slanted down through the summer trees
Bird call and forest rustle in the humid summer air
Nature most luxurious, there was magic everywhere.

And then I went to the park and to the meadow green
Shouts and children’s laughter in the hazy afternoon
I remembered that I held you there the very first time
And I thought how I love this precious world and this precious summertime

CHORUS
Wrap your arms around us world and we’ll do the same for you
Keep the children safe for us and for their futures new
Help us fight injustice world, to make the wrongs come right
And lead us to a land of peace, from darkness into light
(We’ll lead you to a land of peace, we’ll lead you to the light)

But all across this world of ours the bullies seem to reign
Sometimes we have to wonder, will the good times ever come again
People cry for justice, people hunger for release
From the fear of futures fractured and a desperate hope for peace

And it can make you mad and cynical or it can drive you to despair
But then you suddenly remember that something good is here
It’s the cry you make you beautiful child it’s the life that you can lead
Surrounded by a love that breathes and which is ours to give.

CHORUS

So in Nightingale park I sit and think these thoughts for you
For the bad is all around us but the good is with us too
It’s the cry you make you beautiful child, it’s your presence here with us
It’s the opposite of hate and woe it’s the boundless gift of love.

CHORUS
