Dedicated to Yvonne Dunbar
Individuality
I loved the way you smiled at me
The bigger picture you didn’t see
Changing the world so it is free
There was still a lot for me to do
But I really cared for you
The kindest person that I knew
And I could tell you loved me too!
Then one day your soul was gone
I didn’t know how to carry on
I missed the real you
The loving woman I knew
I could tell you had died
There was no humanity inside
Your body was being controlled
It was distant and cold
Those deep brown eyes
A robot in disguise
But then came your resurrection
And again you showed affection
Is it due to me you’re back on the Earth?
The greatest miracle since the virgin birth!
Did it happen when stock markets crashed in July?
Could a Weekly Worker letter I wrote be the reason why?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
Yvonne, you’re a stairway to heaven
I think you’re halfway there
The answer to a prayer
I think you’re halfway here
The answer to fear
Virtual reality
Only you could explain heaven to me
More of the bigger picture you now see
And I now know the world will be free
There is not much more for me to do
But I have a lot of love for you
Heartfelt love that is oh so true
And I can tell you love me too!
I have recorded the song as a musical poem, in MP3 format.
