Don't forget to give thanks
when you're inspired
to the torch that lights
that holy fire
blesses you with a vision
only you can see
to cause something out of nothing
to be
In your garden where you stand
waiting, looking up
hoping soon the clouds will burst
then you feel it when it lands
and it's cold to the touch
you shiver just a little bit at first
Don't forget to give thanks
when you're inspired
to the torch that lights
that holy fire
blesses you with a vision
only you can see
to cause something out of nothing
to be
So catch all the rain you can
in your little paper cup
and try and quincy your neverending thirst
hold it gently in your hand
and never drink too much
at once cause you know what it's worth
Don't forget to give thanks
when you're inspired
to the torch that lights
that holy fire
blesses you with a vision
only you can see
to cause something out of nothing
to be
You might not understand
when you're feeling stuck
sometimes to the point it hurts
But think of all the times you had
when you were down on your luck
remember
you've been through much worse
