When It Comes

WHEN IT COMES When it comes alive Oh joy when it comes alive That which was thought lost Oh my God! JOY! There’s a skit and whirr outdoors Inside all takes on a new coat of paint Walls expand Fall aside The chest expands Stature! Excitement flows This strange new music With bold accent This rhythmic music Forces one to dance Dance a gold circle with coronet Oh joy when I heard it all again! Oh joy when everything came alive! All had been thought lost When it came Suddenly As if from nowhere That which was thought lost At last to love again To again BE! Be ALIVE!

the opening could be an invitation, I was thinking of the empty tomb when I created it but it fell short.
