Vera from boreal/is by Stephen Hooper

Did you hear, my dear, when your mother prayed?
(Joy in the waiting)
Did your little eyes, my prize, perceive so many waves?
(Prisms of color)
How beautiful the moment when we finally called your name
Did you hear, my dear, when your mother prayed?

In a land that's cold and frozen be a flame
In a time when lies are spoken know your name
Like a dusk midsummer forest thrilled to life with brilliant noise
Rejoice, my love, and find your rising voice

Did you know, little soul, your father's shaken faith?
(Truth in the wandering)
Would your feet run, undone, as in future days?
(Let them come to me)
Our worlds became so lovely when we finally saw your face
Did you know, little soul, your father's shaken faith?

I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart
Down in my heart, down in my heart
I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, down in my heart
Down in my heart to stay
