Time drifts on between each breath for you and I When your destination arrives, have your dreams gone to rest? Body and mind worn out between each sunset and sunrise When calamIty strikes, would then your heart return home? As one act after another plays out, unfamiliarIty of nonexistence Seeking and searching, how to link pearls on a broken string? How to sing the missing notes? If tomorrow were your next life How would you spend your day today? If tomorrow were your next life How would you spend your day today?

Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. Mother, please explain, what is love? Won't you tell me? Does one feel joy, or is It sad? How am I to know what of late befell me? For now my life no more is glad. Oh, tell me, is loving always kind? Suppose a gentle swain is sighing, Should I be denying? Not long since, to me came a shepherd fair Handsome as could be, and promptly he did swear That he loved me well. How could I tell? How could I tell? If he should come and say the same again, What shall I answer then? What shall I answer then?
