As I watch these crystal drops fall
they remind me I have no need to cry.
A year ago when I lived in the desert
my tears were the only flowing water, all else was dry.

Though I watch now intently
as the Universe takes my old job away.
I feel as though I 'll never cry again
for I know my smile will forever stay.

Even my soul can hear the songs of freedom
and my heart sees the graceful dance of joy.
My cries for relief of my once undying pain were heard
I will forever be happy, with or without some boy.

I trust my future and believe in it all
cause now that I stand so tall I rule myself.
The wind whispers a story for all to hear,
it speaks of happiness and internal wealth.
