The Wonder of Silence

I am happy for the sunshine 

I am happy for a clean rain

I’ll take it while I can get it

Then I’ll let it go again

 

I use to sit on that river’s shore

It was mighty and it use to roar

But the dams went in so it don’t know more

Buts it’s still glory

 

Times are changing but they always have

And what we use to call good we now call bad

What use to make us happy now makes us sad

But it’s still glory

 

I am happy for the sunshine 

I am happy for a clean rain

I’ll take it while I can get it

Then I’ll let it go again

 

I can’t always see the forest through the trees

I am definitely not what I call me

And sometimes I just can’t see

That it’s still glory

 

I want to be there but I’m always here but

Still sometimes I live in fear

Then suddenly it appears so clear

That it’s all glory

 

So I am happy for the sunshine 

I am happy for a clean rain

I’ll take it while I can get it

Then I’ll let it go again

 

And I don’t mind this life at all

My body opens. My weight it falls

I can feel a glory I can’t see

My mind is calm. My love is free

 

Silence creeps in like a wayward friend I’m bound to ask, “Hey where’ve you been?”

But it has gone nowhere. It just sits and grins

And says it’s Glory

 

So here’s to my addiction to my rise and fall

My life and death, my stories of it all

Still the persistent call

That it’s all glory
