Dear God
Dear stars
Dear trees
Dear sky
Dear people
Dear everything
Dead God
God is inside me and everyone else
That was or ever will be
I came into this world with God
And when I finally looked inside
I found it
Just as close as my breath is to me
Rising
Like the sun
Is the hope that sets us free
Your heartbeat
Make my heart beat
When we share love
Like a plate of corn
Like a honeybee
Like a waterfall
All a part of me
Like the color purple
Where do it come from?
Now my eyes are open
Look what God has done
It take a grain of love
To make a mighty tree
Even the smallest voice
Can make a harmony
Like a drop of water
In the river high
There are miracles
For you and I (for you, and you and I)
Like a plate of corn
Like a honeybee
Like a waterfall
All a part of me
Like the color purple
Where do it come from
Now my eyes are open
Look what God has done
I don't think us feel old at all
I think this is the youngest us ever felt, yeah
Amen
