When you scratch the bottom of the riverTurned upside down by current’s tossTrying to find the waves and surfaceand catch your breath of air When you follow a lonely breezeTo climb a mountain without a trailAnd stumble through the brushLosing your footing, laid quite bare And you stay up late at nightDivining right from rows…
Your hobbit holeLying on your couchWith my head in your lapCrawling into your great big bedOr dancing with an anteaterMaking a dandelion wishIn my cottage in a magical forestOr anytime I crawl into your head.
Heavenly Father and my own fatherWatch over me and those I love.And the ones I hate.Give him the strength to become a good man through all his trialsAnd an easier path to a new life as he has passed your temptations.Give my children total assurance that they are loved and deserve it.Give me and all…
