Inside Of You

Susan J. Paul
You say the river’s too far to go
And the star’s too high to reach
In the shade it’s much too cold
And in the sun there’s too much heat
And would you say to me
The sky’s too blue, the sea too green
In the night there’s too much dark
And too much crying in your sleep
Inside of you
How deep does the ocean go
Inside of you
How loud does the lion roar
Inside of you
Do your feet know how to dance
Inside of you
Does heaven ever really have a chance
Inside of you does heaven have a chance
You’re telling me the chair’s too soft
You’re telling me the bed’s too hard
And you would like to cool your fever
But the water’s just too far
So you sit starring at the door
Like something’s gonna walk on in
But tell me what are you waiting for
Sitting still is your greatest sin
