A Shovel Is a Prayer |
A shovel is a prayer |
To the farmer’s foot |
When he steps down |
And the soft earth gives way |
A baby is a prayer |
When it’s finally asleep |
A whispered, «Amen» |
At the end of the day |
And a friend is a prayer |
When they bring over soup |
When they laugh at your jokes |
And they don’t ask for proof |
It’s a song that you sing |
When you are alone |
When you’re weary or lonely |
Or that far from home |
For all your searching |
There’s nothing to do |
What you’ve been looking for |
Is looking for you |
I’m the prodigal daughter |
You’re the dissonant son |
We’ve been washed in rainwater |
We’re the fortunate ones |
On the other side of midnight |
Just before the dawn |
You can feel it coming up |
When the long night is done |
It’s as heavy as grief |
And it’s weightless as smoke |
It’s the dream you forgot |
It’s the letter you wrote |
It’s the first birds of morning |
That sound like a hymn |
Throw open the windows and |
Let the light in |
I’m a wayfaring stranger |
You’re Indiana Jones |
We are Gracie and George |
We’re Watson and Holmes |
The air is filled with angels |
There’s no devil to outrun |
Just sigh and kiss the ground |
When the long night is done |
It’s a collar turned up |
A kiss on the forehead |
A string and two cans |
It’s the last thing you said |
It’s a hunch that you follow |
A light in the dark |
An idiot check |
It’s a balm for your heart |
For all you searching |
There’s nothing to do |
What you’ve been looking for |
Is looking for you |
