[hometext] => The day shall come when things will be made right again. When that day comes, hope shall once again burn eternal in the heart of a child. [bodytext] => The Right Ones R. Dafremen I know where the right wind blows Fragrant scenes from across the sea I know where the right ones grow Took a scent on the breeze to enlighten me I know where the desert wakens To the pulse of a something passing through the trees I've been where a childhood's known Been to where the widow weeps peacefully I know where the wild ones grow Arrow-straight past the promised possibilities I know where the meadow's laughter Meets the river's rambling revelry I know where the done days done Where the soul sleeps a whole lot better And where everyone belongs Twilight bringing them together To share the day's events remembered In the fading fireside's final embers I know summer's fires remind me Of the passing possibilities to lose I know of the painful places Walked a mile in whoever's shoes Left my heart behind a thousand ways Behind in a thousand pieces...places But I know where the wild thorn grows I know where the right ones grow Folded in the arms of the standing bramble Safe from the savages and their concrete illusions Sunny wonders born of innocence and unity In another time In a different place A better way of celebrating life Which feeds the warmth of childhood recollections Makes them strong Keeps them safe and full of wonder The wonder of the innocent remains The only truest mantra ever uttered I know where the hearts are guarded I know where the garden's tended carefully I know where the future started Took a trip to the past to enlighten me.
