Natural Order

All the little birdies in the trees
They wake up singin' happy songs
The squirrels go up and down
They’re so busy runnin' 'round
They seem to know that they belong
All the veggies in the garden
And the trees in the yard
They all grow in the same direction
And I never met a flower
Who’d deny the higher power
That was born to shine on everyone
Me, I ain’t been no mornin' glory
I have lived another story
I’ve been afraid to get out of my bed
When the daylight rolled around
You’d find me hiding underground
Paralyzed by fear and dread
Why would I wake up
Try to resist the morning
That can only totally
Inevitably be
I want to open my eyes
And give thanks to the dawning
Singing bring it on
I believe I am home
I’m givin' over
To my place
In the natural order of things
I was talking to my brother
About the things that give us trouble
You know we both get awful blue
The thing I saw we had in common
Was this kind of faithless belonging
Had us wanderin' 'round
Wonderin' what we’re here to do
Oh, tryin' to go this thing alone
Is like tryin' to eat a mountain
It’s like tryin' to swallow the sea
It’s like wakin' in the morning
Not believin' you belong here
Then you got nothing to give or receive
Hey bring back my faith
It is the root and the structure
To this tree of life
Upon which we all thrive
I see spirit as to the land
As is the left to the right hand
Of the same body, different sides
Why would we make it up
That we don’t belong here
When we can only totally
Inseparably be
I want to open my eyes
And give thanks to the dawning
Singing bring it on
I believe I am home
I’m givin' over
To my place
In the natural order of things
I’m givin' over
To my place
In the natural order of things
