Forest Nights

Written for Jeremiah Pena's song Wonderful


A dream...
But you are there.
You're always there in my dreams.

In a dark forest, late one night
Surrounded by the dark eyes
and the towering trees
Running

Running, running, through the night!
With bare feet and open hearts
Wild grins and laughing eyes!
Should I never need depart
Your side!
Listening to our hearts beat
In tune with the sounds of nature...

Sitting under the shade
Of a great oak tree.
I look at the moon
Reflecting off of your beautiful face.
Our Eyes meet.
What a wonderful feeling.
Being with you.

Sing and Rejoice!

Sing and Rejoice!
Rejoice and Sing!
Dance in your streets
Your living-rooms and your closets!
For we have great reason to have joy!

Those who have long been dark and dreary
Now are seen with a smile
That cannot leave their faces!
Is this not reason to sing and rejoice?

Sing halleluah, clap your hands!
Sing and rejoice!
Sing with your hearts, your minds and your mouths
At the shining smiles of the worried heart!

The worried heart, the wounded heart,
Loves again, loves again!
The shy heart, the timid heart,
Loves again! Loves again!

One to the other,
The other to the one,
the lock is the key
and the key is the lock.

Rejoice! Rejoice!
Oh my heart is singing!
The joy that fills the shadowed heart
Fills my own heart
And causes it to Sing and Rejoice!
