I like to think we are born
with sunshine in our voices.

The sunshine is there
when we talk, sing, and laugh.
Who knows how it got there?

That very sunshine would explain
why our laughs are filled with light.
Because the sunshine streams out of our mouths
when we leave them open for a while.

I like to think we are born
with stardust in our hearts.

That stardust is a part of us,
just like anything else.
Who knows how it got there?

That very stardust would explain
why we want to see the universe, the moon,
the stars.
Because our hearts want to go home.

I like to think we are born
with clouds in our eyes.

Our clouds hold our feelings,
just like our minds.
Who knows how they got there?

Those very clouds would explain
why we cry, whether of joy or
sadness.
Because our own little clouds overflow
with rain-feelings sometimes.
