Walter Whitman where are you
Among the stars or, in the earth beneath my shoe
It's just cause I'm wondering
Could you walk with me a mile
And maybe heaven could spare you awhile
Walter Whitman, I confess
My faith is shaken
And my life's a holy mess
Yes, I need deliverance
But I'd settle for a smile
Now maybe heaven can spare you awhile
I thought I heard you yawpin' from the yonder tree
I swore I heard you say
"Don't worry boy, shut up, enjoy, be free"
Walter Whitman, I declare
I could sing songs of joy
Through my darkness and despair
It's just I'm hoping
You could shed a little light
That is if heaven can spare you tonight
Don't worry boy, shut up, enjoy, be free
Walter Whitman, I declare
I could sing songs of joy
Through my darkness and despair
It's just I'm hoping
You could coax a problem child
Now maybe heaven could spare you awhile
Walter Whitman where are you?
