As the world turns I walk on it.
Before the sun moves we’re out there
Covered with light
Discovering new things with the world around us
Every day.
Forgiving people for the bad things they’ve done.
God’s city is covered with candles and light.
Horror dragons digging holes down, down to the ground.
Igloos frozen like an ice cube floating on water.
Jaguars running faster than ever, with
Kangaroos hopping around.
Lions roaring louder than ever before as we’re
Making new things before us.
Never been seen a golden apple dropping into someone’s mouth.
