Staggering Heat

Ninety one degrees in the staggering heat Has mysteriously erupted my heart beat The savior is sitting in the burning fleet Waiting patiently for the day to complete Voices of pain trapped in the lane Voices of hope reminiscing about Voices of love singing a merry song Voice of hate is banging on the gate And the voice of peace is echoing above Big dog, little dog searching around the hall Nose pointed towards the target And tongue speaking to the market Everyone is listening in on the call Oh what a terrible brawl I can remember the day when my spirit was at ease And the multitude sat quietly on the grass listening to it all The distant wind blows gentle over the mountain And the message flows speedily through the horizon The birds stand graciously on the electric line Looking sharp and shine, they too have understood The message that was hidden underneath the wood Oh heavens in the sky, listen to me as the cloud drift by The morning is waiting on the sun, And the evening is on the run If you look carefully you can see, The mystical expression on my face The music is playing inside me And the heaven is dancing around me The big hawks are lingering in the sky And the pelicans are standing by Searching for the hidden fish While they are stirring in my dish Salt and pepper to taste, Oh please make some haste The miracle is standing in front of me And I don't have to search any longer Everyone say that I am very lucky And the great big God had blessed me I have been swinging from tree to tree Holding tight to the solemn branch I finally find a place to land in a distant place No thorn, no thistle, indeed it was a miracle. The heat is rising and the pressure is declining. I am here and you are there I am breathing fresh air The will and the desire to stand Has finally put us in a section all over the land.
