Terri's Song I'm a child of the universe, A ward of space. The stars are the eyes of All who serve in this place. I'm a girl of the galaxy Surrounded by life's fantasies. The planets are the brothers Of my reality. I'm a woman of the world, A precious gem to humankind. My love generates forever And mystifies the mind. I'm the soul of the earth Blowing in the wind. I'll always be somewhere After I've departed again.
