To fling my arms wide
In some place in the sun
To whirl and dance
Till the bright day is done
Then rest at cool evening
Beneath a tall tree
While night comes gently
Dark like me
That is my dream
To fling my arms wide
In the face of the sun
Dance! Whirl! Whirl!
Till the quick day is done
Rest at pale evening
A tall, slim tree
Night coming tenderly
Black like me
