| 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 |
