Come and sit beside me on the step
The sun remains to glow warm here
Taken into my heart, you are welcome
To know what drives me on

Always, have I wondered of the why
When God lives in my daily life
There is no church that holds me
As I will live my beliefs, not preach them

Come laugh at the world as I see it
There is no disrespect in the humor of life
Taken bitter, taken sweet, it must be taken
I steer the chariot and reign the steed

And people slap these labels on cans of fruit
A category of what they don’t understand
If ever there was rage it is against that
To know myself raspberry, divines such comprehend

Come closer if you are my friend
In my heart, there is nothing hidden
Always clearly spoken, with discrimination
I choose to see the pool of good, some may only puddle

And hold me close, for I have chosen you
There is nothing that could ever part us
In my naïve and willful way, I conjure dreams
As only I can build my home on this foundation

Come sit beside me on the step
Be strong in your will and your ways
I am sent to learn of the forest and the meadow
For the sea and the sky have embraced me

"Come sit beside me on the step
Be strong in your will and your ways
I am sent to learn of the forest and the meadow
For the sea and the sky have embraced me"

I would sit with you anytime and watch the special world you see, then weave it's magic into words for me to read.
