Anything to ease the load

They prayed for music to offset the news
To keep them alive on the refugee road
it didn't matter if it was concerto or blues
Anything to ease the load.

The unseen life from an unseen world
peeks out from the underworld,
it's flags unfurled
They snap in the wind,
awaken me from my somnolence,
blow off the ambivalence
of working in a downtown coal mine,
and going down blind.

They prayed for music to offset the news,
To keep them alive on the refugee road,
It didn't matter if it was concerto or blues
Anything to ease the load

I dream of a quiet spot
Where love doesn't need to be taught
Where no one fits into anyone's slot.
And I have visions of tenderness
emitting from my bones.
And discover my touch is electric
and I'm on automatic.
Like every human being
I was born elastic.

They prayed for music to offset the news
To keep them alive on the refugee road
it didn't matter if it was concerto or blues
Anything to ease the load.

Random perceptions appeal for survival,
since the time of walking upright's arrival.
Nothing has been lost , it's archival.
Nature waits patient
and invites exploration,
a big temptation
My senses begin to leak
I don't have the words to speak
I'm witness to the accident.

They prayed for music to offset the news
To keep them alive on the refugee road
it didn't matter if it was concerto or blues
Anything to ease the load.

my soul feels like the fingertips of the wind
it touches everything
the miscellaneous in me merges with the Mighty,
All 360 degrees.
Fear comes and it goes
You have to be on your toes
to distinguish
the difference between being smited and being the life of the party.
As long as you're breathing, there's always a chance for loving,
for a breakthrough
and the shedding of shame,
for love to accrue,
to recognize in everyone, that down deep diamond that shines through.

They prayed for music to offset the news.
To keep them alive on the refugee road.
It didn't matter if it was concerto or blues
Anything to ease the load.
