A Song of Ascents

At the crossroads by my cabin, contemplating strategies for
success.
What attracts two people together? Will we make it through this mess?
Mama always said, "Even when you choose nothing, things get done.
But when you choose son, you can get what you want!"

So many books on my shelf.
So many sound bytes in my ear.
I¹m not wanting for another cliché.
What do I want to hear?

Walk with me talk with me I¹m leading you around.
What was popular yesterday has gone underground.
Who¹s counting? Who¹s living outside of time?
Unpopular at 18 ­ Suave at 59!
Poteach et yadecha u¹masbea l¹chol chai ratzon.
Fullfills all my wills, sits me on a royal throne.
We are the holy children who will not be postponed.
Sated with the finest wheat, given honey from a stone.

Step back. Where the ladies at, looking for some space?
When she takes her throne of glory then we¹ll have a peaceful place.
I don¹t wake up in the morning trying to do wrong.
Stop complaining to me and help me sing this song.
Creation begins with two. Our Maker¹s One.
The moon shines at night, and by day the sun.
The tree of knowledge led to the ratrace.
Tree of life, show your face!

In midtown Manhattan, contemplating strategies for success.
So many people together! What do we share in common?
Every one needs something, someone. When they get it they want
something more.
But there¹s one thing that we always want.

Some boys want a lover.
Starving mothers want some food.
We each need something to live.
Put your palms to the sky. Recieve & Give.
