Dear God
Dear stars
Dear trees
Dear sky
Dear people
Dear everything
Dear God
God is inside me and everyone else
that was or ever will be
I came into this world with God
and when I finally looked inside
I found it
just as close as my breath is to me
rising like the sun
it's the hope that sets us free
your heartbeat makes my heart beat
when we share love
like a blade of coal
like a honey bee
like a waterfall
all a part of me
like the color purple
where do we come from
now my eyes are open
look what God has done
it takes a grain of love
to make a mighty dream
even the smallest voice
can make a harmony
like a drop of water
keep the river high
there are miracles for you and I
like a blade of coal
like a honey bee
like a waterfall
all a part of me
like the color purple
where do we come from
now my eyes are open
look what God has done
I don't think I spill
oh at all
I think this is the youngest us ever fail
amen
