St. Peter |
It’s 2 am, as we pull into the humble hotel |
German countryside; |
everyone is shut up tight |
Warmth and light welcome, as all file inside |
I entered, belated, to see our troop elated, faces filled up with joy |
Blessed communication |
The source stood behind the counter |
A man, salt and pepper, his face beamed like a boy’s |
We are all given dark and light |
A beautiful contrast of black and white |
You can hide in the darkness |
Or strive for healthy progress |
Forgive what makes us human |
We could grow an earthly heaven |
He told us of our origins, spoke of when ideas gave birth to breath |
He spoke about love and respect |
I felt fire rise up in my chest |
Loving because He first loved us |
Clean or dirty, the Ocean remains as One! |
I’ve never felt such a warm embrace, well-known stranger, his smile, a handshake |
And while he swept the floor |
Oh God, he called on me by name! |
Even as the smoke hung in our lungs, like old friends we circled up |
Peter, preaching Life, passed his Marlboro |
On nights like tonight I come outside |
Enjoy the pins of light, littering the sky |
Run my fingers down the lifeline of the hanging leaf |
We are all given dark and light |
A beautiful contrast of black and white |
You can hide in the darkness |
Or strive for healthy progress |
Forgive what makes us human |
We could grow an earthly heaven |
We are all given dark and light |
A beautiful contrast of black and white |
You can hide in the darkness |
Or strive for healthy progress |
Forgive what makes us human |
We could grow an earthly heaven |
Thinking of how that life also resides in me |
The mark of the Creator, we share the same energy |
Our light and our dark |
The dull side and the shiny |
Creates the being whole, and distracts not from beauty |
For glory is revealed in everything, shared energy |
We must own and control the dark that we’re given |
Magnify the light, loving what is just and right |
And cultivate for ourselves an earthly heaven |
