May I take your hand for a moment please?
and walk with you by the bay?
I have come undone in this world of late
I am weary and need to pray.
words will not comfort this somnolent mind,
and sympathy will not do,
I’ve outdone this world a long time ago
so please, let me walk by you.
May I take your hand for a moment please?
and laugh with you by the bay?
the stresses of time have made me so old,
I’ve forgotten how to play.
Show me the world in a radiant glow,
in naturalistic stride,
show me the world you intended for us,
your marveling jewel, your pride.
So take my hand, for a moment please,
and walk with me till dawn,
stay till the sweet smell of dew fills the air,
and the crescent moon has gone.
