First, hold my left hand
And let’s together stand
Pull me like an egg on a little plate to you
And with your right hand
Feel my heart
Close your eyes
Think of your heartbeats
See if you have or have had the same rhythm
Put on your sage hat
And let’s dance
II
I am the hen with wings of an eagle
The bull with the wisdom of an ant
I am the fly with the body of an elephant
The tsunami with the gentle touch of a cool breeze
I am the full sun with the heat of sunrise
The huge sea with many paths to great others
I am a mountain climbable to bless eyes with visions
I am a simpleton with many complexities
Still let’s dance
III
I have a skirt with a hole worth dying to chase
I have a brazier with soft moulds worth searching to play
I have a waist so cool worth diamonds for hands to sway
I do have a mouth, toffee-like, delicious from a distance
Not to talk of eyes with deep waters of talents
And hearts of many nations
Still let’s dance
IV
Now picture your soul in what your ears have served
Standing in the mirrors of all eyes
Being perceived as a decoration
A nothing
A washing machine
A cooking pot
A door mat
A thing like a blame can
A punching bag
Take not your hand,
Continue feeling the heart, still with your eyes closed
And let’s dance on
Now tell yourself how it feels
And be like the external who talks to the internal wise
Now let’s go on a spinning spree
