lyrics

Here the deities approve -
The god of music and of love.
All the talents they have lent you,
All the blessings they have sent you.
Pleased to see what they bestow
Live and thrive so well below.

Here we get to exhale our inspirations -
Here we let them wither in the gloom
Or watch them bloom upon the vines we tend
Here we scratch out our songs on little stages
Scatter pages, sketching out a scene
Just guessing what we glean from what the heavens send
Pull from that place into this place
Find the odd word comes like a kiss placed on the brow –
Oh wow, I could sweat for days
And never find, never find that honey-dripping phrase

Like Mahalia, van Gogh, or Joni…
Coltrane, Ursula Le Guin, Antonioni…
Pleased to see what comes their way
Live and thrive ’til it fades away.

Please, let me see – let me see what You bestow
Live and thrive, live and thrive on earth below.
