Song for Ehren and Jen

I see an image on each head-
(Is it the Creator's breath?)
The mystery within each face
The holiness of every race

Life is breaking on the poor
Like waves beat our New England shore
I dare to think that God would run
To be a shield to even one

I'll send out a message to You
So bright so alive
So true
Oh change us. Make our city new
You are as the sky and I,
A silver drop of rain,
Fall, Fall to the earth

Give me a mountain so cold
Where I could look upon this world
So I could lift them up to You
As morning lifts the fallen dew

Perfect gifts are from above
And You have given me my love
Together we will make Your name
Like sunrise in this darkened place

I'll send out a message to You
So bright so alive
So true
Oh change us. Make our city new
You are as the sky and I,
A silver drop of rain,
Fall, Fall to the earth

Notes: Ehren and Jen refuse to be molded by this world, in which so many place a lower value on people who are different from themselves. Given half the chance, Ehren and Jen will slip off to the ocean or into the mountains. They love the early morning hours.
