Mind and Body

If they’re bipolar
Why should you act bipolar too?
Do you think that will make it
Right between them and you
	
Yes they have highs and yes
They have lows
Their moods are unpredictable
No one knows

Agreeable one day
Cantankerous the next
They’re not evil or mean
Nor are they under a hex

If you understood the mind 
Like you understand a cold
All of this confusion
Would leave your soul

If you'd nurture the sick in body
And the sick in mind
There would be no reason
To feel confined

I don’t know how many days you are away
From embracing the body and mind
As a whole, 

The same way some of us pray

To the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
