Joy

Together we move along the karmic wheel The earth becomes filled with light Our eyes adjust to the sunny beams Our souls following behind Our hopes are coming to fruition As children of the asphalt homeland We have known despair But now joy arrives on a celestial train We'll be at the station to greet it with flowers

ps Shawna was just a name to rhyme with iguana. haha. Did you ever see the movie, "Ferris Bueller" by chance. The girl from Dirty Dancing starred as the sister of Ferris Bueller and her name was Shawna. That is the only shawna I ever heard of!
