The Song of Purple Summer

Listen to what's in the heart of a child
A song so big and one so small
Soon you will hear where beauty lies
You'll hear and you'll recall
The sadness, the doubt, all the lost and grief
Will belong to some play from the past
As the child leads away to a dream of belief
A time of hope through the land...

A summer's day
A mother sings
A song of purple summer
Through the heart of everything
And Heaven waits
So close it seems
To show her child the wonders
Of a world beyond her dreams

The earth will wave with corn
The days so wide so warm
And mare will neigh
With stallions that they mate
Foals they've born
And all shall know the wonder of purple summer...

And so I wait
The swallow brings
A song too hard to follow
The glory of the spring
The fences sway
The porches swing
The clouds begin to thunder
Crickets wander murmuring

The earth will wave with corn
The days so wide so warm
And mares with neigh
With stallions that they mate
Foals they've born
And all shall know the wonder
I will sing the song of purple summer.

All shall know the wonder
I will sing the song of purple summer.
All shall know the wonder
Of purple summer...
