The teacher of my soul is a robin. She sings sweet songs to my heart. All my life I've loved that robin, Who opens my mind and lets in light, Bringing understanding and mystery out. Oh teacher, teach me not through words, And empty phrases in the air, But lead me rather forth with love, That we might find all knowledge there. So open doors, break down the wall, And smile your love; be one with all. An act of love, a smile, or so Is what will bring my reason forth, And make me want to learn and grow. And when we go together thus, The winds of understanding blow. So soften face, and kindness, eyes. Within each heart, a pearl there lies. We all have pearls, for we are one, And pearls sing and dance in the sun. So open doors, break down the wall, And smile your love; be one with all.
