Epiphany (for the children)

by Pete Gitlin

/

about

A song of sadness and ultimately hope.

lyrics

Dreaming of stars shining cold light in the sky
One for each soul that ever lived or died
There’s beauty and there’s grace in the emptiness of space
Vast distances too far to comprehend
Yet somehow all entranced in this galactic dance
They are one
We are one
In the end

Children will play, laughter comes so easily
Cries of delight so innocent and free
There’s beauty and there’s grace in every precious face
So filled with love for all their little friends
But laughter fades away as dusk replaces day
They are one
We are one
In the end

Watch the river roll by, people standing in line
Praying for a peaceful ride
In the clear white light of this moonlit night
As they reach the other side
Dissolve and fade away

Talking with God lying softly in our bed
“What have you done?” and here is what he said
“There’s beauty and there’s grace, in this my human race
But even I do things I can’t defend
So children don’t despair when life seems so unfair
They are one
We are one
In the end”
