about
Inspired by Ray Bradbury's 1969 short story "I Sing the Body Electric."
lyrics
Glow in the dark
Eyes and the ears
Under the glass
They're softly illumined
To see and to hear
All grief disappear
Follow the sound
Walk down the hall
Showroom of voices
Calling and whispering
Words of calm
Of comfort to all
And in the Electric Room
Under the starlight
The song will sound from her body:
"FOREVER
LIVE FOREVER..."
Husband in mourning
Sits in the dark
Light in the doorway
Smiling and shining
Gives forth a spark
A light in the dark
Grandmother sings
And enters the room
She brings with her, children
Laughing and dancing
In time with the tune
Of Grandmother's croon
And in the Electric Room
Under the starlight
The song will sound from her body:
"FOREVER,
LIVE FOREVER..."
Grandmother sings
She sings to you all
She chases away
The pain of Death
With her call
Grandmother loves
To right every wrong
She teaches her children
To always remember her song:
"FOREVER,
LIVE FOREVER..."
