The Bubble Man - Joshua Kadison

Early Sunday morning I was walking down the pier

Talking to myself again, trying to get things clear

I saw the old man blowing bubbles by Ezekiel’s carousel

The children hadn’t gathered yet, but I was waiting I could tell

He said, «I love to watch the children

Chase the bubbles that I blow

It helps me keep a promise

I made a long long time ago

I’m gonna love this world the best I can

Then leave the rest in grace’s hands

Gorgie on the boardwalk in another rent

Shouting it’s all over and it’s all to late to save

Preaching to some seagulls and to the rising sun

Preaching so much sorrow and the world had just begun

And I was thinking maybe Gorgie’s not so very wrong

Then I heard the bubble man singing

And I had to sing along

I’m gonna love this world the best I can

Then leave the rest in grace’s hands

On my way back homeward feeling kinda strange

Everything is different now but nothing really changed

Passing all the laughing children chazing bubbles in the sky

The old man saw me waving

But he did not wave goog-bye

He blow a giant bubble and smiled at what he done

And all of us were spellbound

As it floated to the sun

I’m gonna love this world the best I can

Then leave the rest in grace’s hands
