about

This song is inspired by the poetry of Hafiz as rendered by Daniel Ladinsky from his book The Gift and is used with his permission.

The title of the poem this song is inspired by is called:
The God Who Only Knows Four Words

lyrics

Every Child-Hafiz/Ladinsky/Levin © 2013


Every child has known God

That’s quite a claim.

For they don’t know God as a God of names,

A God of Don’ts, a God of Shame,

Of stormy moods or any strange behavior,

Not a king or a queen, a giant tyrant or savior,

But every child knows God,

Not as someone they can see,

But one who only knows four words:

Come Dance with me!
Come Dance with me!
Come Dance- Come Dance
Come Dance-
With me.
Come Dance with me!
