   we are joy
   we are light
   we are darkness and we are night
   we are hands and heads and ears and nose
   we are feet, fingers, limbs and toes
   we all, we all
   we are bouncing on this big world ball
  
   we pull triggers
   we play with guns
   we play with shoelaces and we twist our tongues
   we are kisses
   we are huggs
   we are the match that will light you off
