The woman shuffled down the street, lookin at the ground She wore oversized shoes and worn out weathered clothes She looked up at me, said hello honey hopin I was a friendly giving soul I gave her a ten and then a listen I thought at the time she seemed so alone and I looked at all she had, which made me so sad but she smiled easily before she spoke Chorus: I don't worry when I got no money....oh no Don't worry that I'm getting old Cause I'm comin back to paradise And son, there's no better place to go I really couldn't say too much, the whole scene touched me and I felt her grace more than I could say My mind was clear and my heart was open I felt a weight had been taken away I gave her a smile and then a good-bye and said I'll see you again someday Then I looked at all I had, knew I should be glad knowin that there was a better place. Chorus: So I don't worry when I got no money....oh no Don't worry that I'm getting old Cause I'm comin back to paradise I know, there's no better place to go The best teachers have the biggest ears |

I really couldn't say too much, the whole scene touched me and I felt her grace more than I could say My mind was clear and my heart was open I felt a weight had been taken away I gave her a smile and then a good-bye and said I'll see you again someday Then I looked at all I had, knew I should be glad knowin that there was a better place. E...your heart is showing...  M |

E, this is a veritable feast of wisdom. A moveable feast so to speak - almost a picnic. *Urchin Grin. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
