The Girl In My Mandala

There's a girl in my mandala
Who smiles at me with glee
She says she knows a secret
And it can set me free
She tells me life is wonderous
Says I twinkle like a star
She thinks I need some tenderness
She sends it from afar
She looks into my troubled eyes
Says she knows my heart is true
She tells me if I just let go
My life will follow through
She gives her hand for me to take
It fits mine like a glove
I fall into her open arms
She looks down from above
In her hand there is a gift
She says that it's for me
To use when I am most in need
Of holding tenderly
She says it will be always here
Tells me look inside and see
I do believe she gave her love
For it to set me free
She says again now just let go
She tells me by the way
She holds things which are beautiful
She holds me every day
There's a girl in my mandala
Who I think might just be me
Cos I was told a secret
And one day I will be free
