What Do I?

What do I feel?
What do I know?
What do I steal?
What do I show?

Longing
Learning
Language
Lineage

Time, time, time, time

Time to come
Time’s too short
Time of some
Time’s report

My heart’s in the highlands
And Jesus is Lord
Visions of Johanna
While busy being born

I feel sacred romance
I know the faith dance
I steal some parlance
I show hard advance

But it’s alright
Everything’s alright
It’s alright, Ma
It’s alright, Pa

IT’S ALL RIGHT!
