Silver lining shining bright,
Won't you visit me tonight,
With contented tears of joy,
These are things I must employ.

Can you find me sitting here,
In this tiny hemisphere,
Waiting for the world to shine,
For happiness to again be mine.

Another soul you did give birth,
As a needy child of this earth,
If you might find it in your heart,
Inner peace, could you please impart?
