Verse 1

I walk the line between the Earth and sky
Like Mary Oliver and her thin membrane
With a grateful happiness bathed in attention
Big eyes big ears a scout
For the populace a man of invention

Chorus 1

I saw Shakespeare debunking the poet's conceit
Saw Perry hit a homerun
In the bottom of the third
I saw Armstrong and Aldrin
On the moon that day

Chorus 2

Each was a marvel each one was a first

Verse 2

In Savannah where stories ooze from cobblestones
A woman in marigold
Wrote of grace wrapped in thorns
Her ink is a trial
Where proof never ceases
In the wisdom of the Misfit
There's no pleasure but meanness

Chorus 1

I saw Shakespeare debunking the poet's conceit
Saw Perry hit a homerun
In the bottom of the third
I saw Armstrong and Aldrin
On the moon that day

Chorus 2

Each was a marvel each one was a first

Bridge 1

Shall I sing of the courageous persistent prophet
Who suffered for faithfully living out His calling
Natural inclination versus righteous vocation
Did the One who calls
Keep him from falling

Bridge 2

He did He did He did
Though the prophet sat alone
With God's hand upon him
He did He did He did
And the prophet arrived
At a place of peace he said

Bridge 3

He said
Thy words became to me a joy
And the delight of my heart
Thy words became to me a joy
And the delight of my heart

Verse 3

Through the discord and the divine
In the hush of nightfall
Jesus speaks from the brokenness behold
He's made it new
He's made it all

Bridge 3

Thy words became to me a joy
And the delight of my heart
Thy words became to me a joy
And the delight of my heart

And the delight of my heart
