David William Breidenthal Poet Lyric

The Meadow of Merriment

We’re going to the river this lovely afternoon
I don’t want to look like a complete baffoon
We’re going to have the time of our lives every single night and day
I wanted to say “what’s up” to you, but like buzzing bees, I sway away

The meadow of mere merriment — I am dependable upon
I rely on the shadow of excitement — I definitely rely on

We’re driving to the meadow of merriment
Not sure why, despite the embarrassment
We’re driving to the meadow of merriment
Not sure why I still cling on to resentment

We’re in the process of forgiving one another
I don’t want to hold on to unhealthy, unnatural habits
We’re going to have the time of our lives unlike any other
Even though my sheer happiness has crumbled into bits

The meadow of mere merriment — I am dependable upon
I rely on the shadow of excitement — I definitely rely on

We’re driving to the meadow of merriment
Not sure why, despite the embarrassment
We’re driving to the meadow of merriment
Not sure why I still cling on to resentment

God, be with me
God, be with me
I’m falling away from Your gracious word
I’m falling away because I feel so abused by absurdity
I’m fluttering away from Your precious, herd
I’m calling today on God’s phone of absolute liberty

The meadow of mere merriment — I am dependable upon
I rely on the shadow of excitement — I definitely rely on

We’re driving to the meadow of merriment
Not sure why, despite the embarrassment
We’re driving to the meadow of merriment
Not sure why I still cling on to resentmen

I couldn’t hear a word you speak, so I roam
I’m still listening, but the waterfall is too loud
Going to the river makes me feel truly at home
I’m still glistening like the afternoon sun, so proud
