Little Balladeer
Angeli Sta. Maria

Tiny hands,
A child's voiced,
A child's heart
            and spirit...

little balladeer
let us hear your heartbeat
O, pure is your spirit
and steady is your heartbeat.

Little balladeer, sing-
let your voice call the lost
            so that they hearken to your innocence
let your song drown out the tumult,
            the noise, the dissaray
            of the world's new melodies
            that of the syncopated, of the broken notes
            and of the absent harmonies

Quiet child,
            drum along with the metronome
            your own pulse, your own heart

Stay a child forever, little balladeer
            keep your innocence
            the same which we have lost

Little face,
Little voice,
Little song,
Little heartbeat,
            Be forever the spirit of the world.
