I saw you in the pennies ways
And half a cup of tea
and balderdash and many days
Between the sky and ski
And thought it left me like a jar
Empty of the jam
Looking out Into the sky
Asking who I am
Love it was a flightless bird
Oh but love did light the way
From corridors too absurd
To block or to give way
More than morning
Morose and mourning
Hit the qualities of shade
That all these starving darling starlings
Could now eat what man had made
But God shook the totem poles
Of power and of play
And took dark towers where wise men cower
And the good may hide away
And he felled with axes
The tree of life he made
For unless it grows with taxes
Then money collecting never pays
I fought my way to Eden
I fought til kingdom came
And all dark storms did weaken
In the coming of brighter names
And when the words were spoken
Then spells they fell like flames
And landed upon the heads of those
Who chose life instead of fame
I kissed the hand of Jesus
And the 12 apostles' shame
Which one of them did laud it over
Him with such a claim?
That all God's earth was kingdom
And the King he shall reclaim
His right seat at throne of power
And all shall know his name
