The Organ Grinder

Turn the brass crank

Play another tune

Let it be a Wunjo

Let it be that rune

Nowhere to go

Standing in place

Make the music drift

Fill this magic space

As I pass by the grinder

I am the more alive

My coin drops for the monkey

The grinder gives a smile

Each small gift I'm given

Is like that grinder's song

I smile inside remembering

That each smile makes me strong
