Market Place

When I am afraid I close my eyes I hear a sweet symphony A thousand music tunes All at once coming through Young girl in the market Yes, that's me, all alone Eyes all full of mystery As I sing away the loneliness They say the most awful things But I hear violins when I close my eyes As I fly off to the center of my sun So I cannot be hurt by anything This wicked world as done Young boy in the marketplace He's taken by the men As he wakes, can't remember anything They break the most beautiful things But I hear violins when I shut my eyes And fly off to the center of the sun So I cannot be hurt by anything This wicked world has done As I look into your eyes I'm at the center of my sun The boy in the marketplace Sees the girl all alone Have you lost your way home? I look up, I hear his voice singing. I hear sweet symphonies in his words. As I look into his eyes I'm at the center of my sun And I cannot be hurt by anything Of what this wicked world has done! 11 12 2012 10pm Monday

Merry Christmas Debbie! With open eyes, I hope you see. The goodness that can truly be. And when the darkness shadows life. May God's sweet angels stave the strife.

So powerful and you do get your point across, the write would benifit from a few line breaks for emphasis..break after [ This wicked world as done/line 14] This is an important refrain. So, after the next idenical line too. XXXOOO Light & Love
