Dream Variations - Audra McDonald

To fling my arms wide

In some place of the sun

To whirl and to dance

Till the white day is done

Then rest at cool evening

Beneath a tall tree

While night comes on gently

Dark like me--

That is my dream!

To fling my arms wide

In the face of the sun

Dance!

Whirl!

Whirl!

Till the quick day is done

Rest at pale evening.

.

A tall, slim tree.

.

Night coming tenderly

Black like me
