Just Tell Me

The horses keep racing towards the steep hills,

And I shake the trees to get the latest thrills.

What a beautiful reality, what a sacred world.

Just tell me to jump and I will follow your words.

The meadows are eating me up like the sun,

I get hidden away in the grass like cheap guns.

My prayers have never choked out my voice,

But this time I am praying louder than the noise.

And the river slides down the mountain in peace,

It has been a while since I have felt such ease.

My feet playfully dangle over the jagged end.

Just say the word, I will make fate my friend.
