I would follow you down
Pass through the sky to the ground
Floating, we’d not make a sound
I would follow you down

Well you left me this time last year
In the midst of our chaos and fear
Pieces by pieces disappear
Why’d you leave me this time last year?

Fingers pointed up to the sky
As if knowing I’m gonna ask why
But seasons have no alibi
Fingers pointed up to the sky

Silent you’ve seemed all this time
And if I knew it was the end, I’d be fine
But confusing is this death amidst this life
And silent you’ve seemed all this time

Maybe you’ll appear once again
Pick me up and call me friend
It’s a rhythm I can’t comprehend
Still I’m hoping you’ll appear once again
Still I’m hoping you’ll appear once again
Oh come back to me, come back to me, friend
Oh come back to me, come back to me, friend

The earth produces all that is needed:
Food and Fabrics,
Water and Wood,
Bricks and Clay,
Sunshine and Rain.

The Maker brings these to us as a gift each day
–knowing that we are happiest
when we live close to the soil
aware of our source
consciously embracing all things with thanks.

The secret is that we are fabulously wealthy
Living like Kings and Queens
In a garden of leisure and luxury.
What we have is enoughŠ and more

If we lack anything, it is the simple pleasure
To enjoy what we already possess
–chasing after joyless schemes and business
denying our inheritance
and wanting what can only make us tired, choked and desperate.

Today, let us find goodness
In the small things
Tasting the abundance you have lavished on us
With eager open hands
Giving and receiving
Trusting and Completing
the circle that began
With the gift of life
