lyrics

Brookland
(Mendelson)

Valerie carefully reflected
Pointing her lens
Framing the shot
With palm trees

But when a car backfired
She lost track of the butterfly
So much for the perfect outdoor day

She needed peace
Not the rat race
Everyone can see it
But no one really understands
A thousand miles away from Brookland

Valerie thoughtfully inspected
Aspects of her entire life
She was so assured of

And in a quiet place
With nuns and monks
It was clear what she had to do
Gladly leave it all behind

She needed peace
Not the rat race
Everyone can see it but no one really understands
A thousand miles away at Brookland

In the garden it all came down to this
She had a fascinating vision there
Giving her life in service for
All the people who needed it the most
