lyrics

A Fool

The birds came from all over
to greet the early light.
I was with them, flying on an updraft into blue.
A winged convocation, though the bats left in the
dawning
and I knew, and I knew.

That God is in the ocean and God is in the air.
That She lives in the fiery sun, the stars.
That God talks into willing ears unplugged
from culture's crass embrace.
And beauty is created. Beauty dwells.
The anointed one is waiting on the shore.
The anointed one is waiting on the shore.

I was rocking on the rooftops
and singing to the sun
as the colors came into me, I was shining bright.
The swallow, he swooped over me, arms upraised I
praised Her
and I knew, and I knew.

Believing is to dying what living is to love.
That hope steps off of cliff tops and is saved.
That grace comes flying to me fearless
in the face of disbelief.
And beauty is created. Beauty dwells.
The anointed one is waiting on the shore.
The anointed one is waiting on the shore.
