Within the Stravinsky motif
A curious child tests her limits
Plays with fire
And burns brightly
Til she burns out
Enter the stag
Symbol of strength and trust
Pulls her broken body from the ashes
Nudges her back into action
She has only the strength to cry
And her tears bring life
To all that was dead inside her
**************************
I have been commissioned to sing my note
Inside this creation
Only pleasing to God and a few well trained ears
Yet sing it, I must
I stand both inside and out
Not yet knowing whether I belong inside
Or out
What I thought was true
Is illusion
What I thought was illusion
Is true
*****************************
"Authority rests in Me," He tells me,
"I give to you the gift to heal.
No one on earth can take that from you.
What I bind on earth stays bound to me.
Do not doubt your gift."
"But how? I am just a woman." I tell Him.
"Do not say to Me, 'I am just a woman.'
I will show you the path to walk.
I pulled you out of the ashes
And breathed life into you.
It is okay to cry. Your woman tears
Will breathe life into the dead
And give hope to the discouraged.
Your woman tears are your greatest gift.
They, more than anything else you offer Me,
Pleases Me the most.
They cleanse you
They bathe you
They make you holy
And give you great power.
Do not be afraid of them.
I gave them to you.
Each tear brings life anew
Feeds the earth again
Your special rain creates life
Because you believe in Me.
Because you love Me.
Because I loved you first."
