Eights and Circles

Bats and caves and really small spaces

Hands to hold and smiles on faces

Round and round in the grass we go

Form a circle, no one says no

Figure eights with our bodies, message for the soul

For the child deep inside to play a role

The frustration and fear are trumped by passion and awe

Just listen to you heart and answer the call

Ashes to ashes we all fall down

Pick yourself up and spin round and round
