EFFORTLESS

I WISH MY HEAD WAS FILLED WITH STARS
WITH ORACLES, MYSTERY AND MAGIC
WITH VISIONS OF A GOOD GOD
WALKING WITH ME IN THE EVENING COOL
WATCHING BIRDS
GLIDE DOWN THE SKY
IN THE FADING LIGHT
EFFORTLESS
AS I WISH MY LOVE FOR GOD
MY FRIEND GOD
WAS EFFORTLESS

HOW CAN I CALL HIM FRIEND
WHEN I TREAT HIM SO SHABBILY
BUT HE CALLED ME FRIEND FIRST
AND HIS LOVE FOR ME
IS AS EFFORTLESS
AS THAT BIRD THERE
FLOATING ON THE AIR
NO WING FLAPPING

OH THAT MY HEAD COULD BE FILLED WITH STARS
BUT I AM COMMITTED TO THE EARTH
BUT MY FRIEND GOD WALKS WITH ME
ENCOURAGING ME TO FLY
