The World Turns

The world turns, it goes
Then comes back around
No breath is taken
Except on its sacred ground.

The future is hidden
The past is the past
Nothing now will forever
Last.

Turning slowly, turning fast
The world is ours
Hold on
It’ll be a blast.

I’m Amazed And Mystified

I’m amazed and mystified
The way the world turns
And magnifies
All goodness inherent
On the earth
And up in
The clear, blue skies.

I am amazed, I’m mystified.

I Don’t Know, I Don’t Know

I don’t know, I don’t know
How the world turns
Or where storm clouds go
I don’t know, I don’t know.

I don’t know, I don’t know
Why everything has an enduring spring
A cascading fall in between
Summer hot or cold, white winter falling
I don’t know, I don’t know.

I don’t know, I don’t know
Which one shows me life to live
Steps to take through it all
I don’t know, I don’t know.
