She listens to the tulips in their bells
While multi-tasking fresh emergencies
She coaxes secret truths they'd never tell
From buddhas in disguise as honey bees
There's always time for beauty
Although she's always harried
She always gives so others can be free
She's an ordinary woman
No one stops to see
No special love songs for her joie de vivre
But the earth can't dance without her
The birds refuse to sing
'Til she extends her soul another spring
Her world is just abundance to be shared
And all its pain just moments to console
For no one dies without someone who cared
There never is a life too small or low
It's the ones they don't remember
She always has a tear for
She leads the checkered orphans to the shore
Oh, a new wind has come
Now we must act as one
Maybe we all will know
The current she always follows
She's an ordinary woman
No one stops to see
No special love songs for her memory
But the earth can't spin without her
The bells can only ring
'Til she extends her soul another spring
