Laughter and Music Only Sound

Broken levee salt laden moisture gone away No one at least was washed away drowned Most have their feet planted on solid ground Friends this has left me in disarray Now longing for that very wonderful day When the laughter and music only sound Within the walls of all homes is found Will that happen before this body returns to clay Could it happen today before the sun set Or will it only happen when we hear the boatman's oar Hope calls me to reach for dreams somehow and yet Satan wants to sow my field with horrible weeds When that boatman takes me ashore Will I still have clutched within my heart love seeds
