my green grass

so thankful tonight for the blessings in my life
and hoping you are too
for the blessings on your side of the fence

some might say that its always better over there
if only, if only, if only
if i can make it there i can make it anywhere
if only, if only, if only,
this test would pass by
the summer would come
on the beach i will lay all day in the sun
and then we will be
as happy as we
forget all the worries to come.

but this side of the season looks different i say
if only, if only, if only,
there were but 26 hours in a day
if only if only if only,
the paper would pass
then my patch of grass would surely
be brighter
& bolder.

seasons of years & seasons of love
they come & they go as they please
just as you arrive
they take a left dive
and leave you alone on your knees

Lord, Lord, here I am
now what do I do?
do i merely sit here and wait on you?
yes?
thats what you want me to say?
well, i've never quite thought of it that way.

but who will secure my future to come?
who will take care of the moon & the sun?
if it weren't for me, surely they'd fall
& leave earth like a giant 8 ball
shooting across the stars in the sky
without watchful eyes-
surely they'd fall with out me.

they won't?
you mean that you've got
your hand on that spot
that holds it all together?
yes?
that's what you say?
well i've never quite thought of it that way.

well okay.
if that's what you say
then all i can do is just stay
just stay
just stay.
just stay and sit.
Can I throw a fit?
& resist your power with great resentment?
no?
contentment?
that's what you say?
well i've never quite thought of it that way.
