Don't be afraid, little one
A storm is nothing to fear
It is like the artist
That lives on creative energy alone
It paints with the lightning
Beautiful flashes of inspiration
Its song is the thunder
Soft and soothing, rolling
Or loud and shakey
It plays any lullaby, any symphony
And no earthly orchestra can compare
It is a graceful dancer
Moving with the wind
And it performs night and day
Stopping only when it tires, and never before
So don't be afraid, little one
An artist is nothing to fear
