lyrics

Like a chip off the ole block, from a short apple tree, we fall head over heels for our mother's songs and our father's stories,
our brother's longing to be ignored, and our sister's longing to be adored.
Whether grafted as a sapling or planted as a seed we have come to call one another family.

"Accept me," we cry. "Accept we," they reply, "who have not asked of you or for you, whom you did not choose!"

Let us eat and drink;
Exchange gifts and ointments;
Wash feet, think not of money but of provision; Ask not for gifts but give thanks for what's given;
For unto us is born this day in the family of David a child we do not recognize but Love.
In whose eyes we see the fruit of our lives.

God, thank you for birth,
For adoption,
For the knowledge of Lovers,
For not calling us options but calling us covered.
Commanding us to reproduce but giving us our druthers so we can choose to obey you in joy not excuse.
So You can pour into our lack Your provision, So we can give back as we're given,
So my heart and their hearts can have the same vision,
So we can live and breathe and speak as children.

We are a twinkle in His eye,
A blinding light on a dark road calling crooked streets home and pharisees "brothers."
We are thieves in the night, stealing time away from our merry men for our Lovers.
We are weaned in time for the fattened calf to be slain in preparation of our supper.
We are sons.

My heart is to Love and connect with others by sharing art.
We're each valuable individuals, made in God's image, with art worth sharing.
If you create, share. If you aren't creating, scared of how it'll turn out or how others will respond, I understand. But art is self expression. It's for YOU first. If it's real, you'll want to be heard and someone will hear.
If anything, share it with me. ... more
