Lions
Look at these trees
Look at this grass
Look at those clouds
Look at them now
And look at them now
(Look at them now, look at them now)
Take a closer look
Study the raindrops on the leaves (take a closer look)
Study the ants on the ground (study the raindrops on the leaves)
Study the ground (I am all over the place)
The brown, porous topsoil, its softness. The mushrooms (I am out of place)
And the strange blue flowers that grow near them (I am elsewhere)
Study this, and ask yourself, "Where is God?" (Ask and make me where)
Back and forth and round and up, avoiding the loops of the mind
This place doesn't know (look at me)
This place doesn't care
About the holy scriptures (I feel tender in the elsewhere)
Or how to pronounce
And live by the ecclesiastical (in the dark a sudden empathy)
This is a no-man's land
This is a no-God's land (I am threatening to some)
Look at those trees again (like an empty body)
Look at the bark (must be explained)
Look at their height (but not explored)
Are they not darker than trees you know? (I am making room)
Are they not smaller? (for tenderness)
Listen to the wind (TMI baby, TMI baby)
And the rattling leaves. It's whispering a pagan psalm (Making room for lovers)
Back and forth and round and up, avoiding the loops of the mind, mind
Back and forth and round and up, avoiding the loops of the mind, mind
To become the untamed, full and muscular like lions of the mind, mind
I am elsewhere
I am all over the place
Making room
For lions
(Humanity)
