Home Made Religion

Stop.

It's 3:15

You have one minute.

Are you ready?

Now think of all things created

Think of those that you care for

Think of what you've been blessed with

And everything that makes you afraid

Wish for anything

Let yourself dream

Wish for things to get better

Until 3:16

There's a stone in my garden that keeps me committed

And close to the ground when I feel I should run

There's a branch in my window that helps me remember

To reach out my arms and touch the sun..

There are two million ants that live in my sidewalk

Working together to nurture and feed

And the old TV set, with the sad evening news

So I never forget how much love we need

Home-made religion

(In my kitchen)

Home-made religion..

Think of how you've been feeling

And how you've made others feel

Think of what you've been given

And what you need to heal

Wish for anything..

Try to keep still

Wish for things to get better

And maybe they will

There's a plant in the corner that helps me remember

All of the beauty that grows from a seed

And the old TV set, with the sad evening news

So I never forget how much love we need

Home-made religion

(In my kitchen)

Home-made religion..

Stop.
