A Few Honest Words

I saw God by the river

Panning for gold

I saw God by the river

Weary and old



He said,

"Son, I used to know where I put things, I used to know"



I saw God in the forest

Teaching tai chi to the trees

In the wind

And bowing to the seas



He said

"Son, I used to know where I put things, I used to know"



I saw God on the mountain

Tearing at the sky

I saw God on the mountain

With tears in his eyes



He said,

"Son, I used to know where I put things, I used to know

I could have shown you all the beauty in the world

But now I need you to show me



"Yes, show me"
