The Bubble Boat - 03:00
							
Before you ever had a name
You wrapped your soul in a bubble boat;
And when your tiny heart first trembled
The sky learned blue and set you afloat
Feel it, paint it, lift it to the light;
A dream walks through the picture you made bright
Bubble, bubble, mirror of the heart
Fear turns into shadow, joy into flowers;
Every tear, a thread of rainbow in the dark
And your world breathes softly through the hours
Out there, the voices sell what's right
And weigh your joy on a golden scale;
The more you believed, the smaller the sky
Till the song inside you grew faint and pale
But when you turned your gaze back to your heart
The borrowed clouds drifted silently apart
Bubble, bubble, mirror of the heart
It's safe to hold the shadow of your fear;
And where a little warmth is glowing
A nameless flower gently opens here
Stones and clocks and faraway stars
A clear dream woven out of light;
What lay between you and me
Was a thin, thin veil of rainbow
The bubble boat has reached the shore
And tenderly you unwove the veil;
All the souls become one light
"Welcome home" blooms, and "I'm home" melts away
