Sarah Goslee Reed: Music
Smilin' on Me
(Sarah Goslee Reed)
SMILIN ON ME by Sarah Goslee Reed
CHORUS:
Great horned owl in the middle of the road
Woodpecker callin from a tree
Praying mantises in my house
Someone is smilin on me....someone is smilin on me
Like the owl my eye is watchin - Silently earthbound
Piercing the darkness with my stare
For movement on the ground
Listening for that sound
CHORUS
Like a woodpecker I’m searching - For some sustenance
Pounding on this wood as hard as I can
Balancing on this branch
Lookin for a chance
CHORUS
Like the mantises I’m praying - Hoping to make amends
Forgiveness - understanding
For the healing of a friend
Even peace among all men
BRIDGE:
Tragedy beside me - Disaster on my sleeve
Can Mother Nature guide me - Teach me to believe?
CHORUS
