Prayer - John Hartford

I love life

Every morning I wake up

Saying in the back of my mind

«This could be my last day on earth

This could be the last time

I’ll ever feel the wind raising the hair on my body

Or the touch of my feet to the ground

Or the warmth of your flesh next to mine

This could be the last chance I’ll have to watch all kinds of people

Doing all kinds of things

And thinking all kinds of thoughts

In all kinds of directions around me

This might even be my last chance

To spend everything I’ve saved since last night

Or hear all your sounds ringing through my head

It might even be my last chance to be sick.»

I’m like a child

Trying to do everything

Say everything

See everything

And be everything all at once

Should I wake up some morning

God help me

I find myself bored

Among the walking dead
