Sunny Saturday

I saw a little boy in a cowboy hat
Walking up the church steps
On a sunny Saturday one afternoon
I saw two hippies holding plastic bags
Drinking tea from Arizona cans
Crossing the highway two by two
Then tears filled up my eyes
When I saw a group of blind men walking
Together with their metal canes
Together on the sidewalk
And I thought about my own faith
How I spend my days
Evaluating what might need to change

I felt jealous
I felt sad and scared
I felt like something new was in the air

I saw children holding teddy bears
Towering on their daddy's shoulders
Walking hand in hand
People loving one another other
The kids about to see something that they've never seen before
How giddy they all seem
The whole world is a candy store
And I'm sitting in the driver's seat
One hand on the steering wheel
The other one is greeting all the ones I'll never meet

Where I'm going
I'm unsure
I don't need to know how it may all unfurl

You are somewhere
Way beyond the words
You are in a place
Where nothing ever hurts
You are in a garden
Where silence is the only sound
A colorful, perennial flower
Growing tall out of the ground
I was lost and looking to be found

I've seen things I never thought I've seen
I've been someone I thought I'd never be
Oh I don't always know what I always believe
But there's gotta be something bigger than me
I felt it one day stopped aside the street

On a sunny Saturday one afternoon
