Sunny Saturday

I saw a little boy in a cowboy hat Walking up the church steps On a sunny Saturday one afternoon I saw two hippies holding plastic bags Drinking tea from Arizona cans Crossing the highway two by two Then tears filled up my eyes When I saw a group of blind men walking Together with their metal canes Together on the sidewalk And I thought about my own faith How I spend my days Evaluating what might need to change I felt jealous I felt sad and scared I felt like something new was in the air I saw children holding teddy bears Towering on their daddy's shoulders Walking hand in hand People loving one another other The kids about to see something that they've never seen before How giddy they all seem The whole world is a candy store And I'm sitting in the driver's seat One hand on the steering wheel The other one is greeting all the ones I'll never meet Where I'm going I'm unsure I don't need to know how it may all unfurl You are somewhere Way beyond the words You are in a place Where nothing ever hurts You are in a garden Where silence is the only sound A colorful, perennial flower Growing tall out of the ground I was lost and looking to be found I've seen things I never thought I've seen I've been someone I thought I'd never be Oh I don't always know what I always believe But there's gotta be something bigger than me I felt it one day stopped aside the street On a sunny Saturday one afternoon
