-Verse One-
Awake
Eyes open
Say my blessings
begin
A new day
A new hope
A new view from with in
A new prayer
A new song
Birds singing at dawn
Wish I could their song in my heart
All day long.
Dazing out in traffic
Daydreaming of life
Say my prayers
Hail Mary
Get a text from my wife
All’s good
Love life
Love people
All equal
Gods Easel
Picture perfect
Sunshine
it’s all peaceful
Avoid the daily drama
Let me stay in this daze
State of mind
In this state of mine
I observe and appraise
People watching
Silent prayers
As I pass them by
Traffic jams out my window
Turn the bass up high
And the treble down low
As we have once been told (Qtip)
Drifting off into the rhythm
That’s Ingrained in my soul.
I Pack a pistol for protection
But pray for peaceful passages
My car Stuck in traffic
But my heart feels immaculate
-Chorus –
Do the birds fly free?
Do they look at me
Do they wonder what I am?
Who taught them to sing to me?
-Verse Two-
In bed
Eyes closed
Say my blessings, begin
Today’s reflections Counting Blessings
Intersessions and sins
Preparing for tomorrow
As my mind begins to take flight
Silent prayers for forgiveness
For the rest of the night
Extend blessings to my family
My Church and my friends
Extend love and compassion
From the prayers in my bed
I wonder what the birds think
Cuddled up in their nest
They sing their praise every morning
Despite of their stress
God bless
The faithfulness
They caress and express
I digress my lack of song
In my daily address
Bench press the daily stress
With the word that reflects
God’s love
For his children
Let’s no longer oppress
Anybody
Everybody got a place in this world
Dedicated most of my prayers
For the boys and the girls
Hoping for a better future
We need to pray right now
Let us sing A song of praise
The birds can teach us how
