Done In a Day

The world’s problem can be solved in a day
If everybody would just kneel down and pray
The world’s problem can be solved in a day
If you listen carefully to what I have to say
You twist and turn and scratch your head
And you exhumed the bodies from the dead
Yet your ideology cannot stop the blood shed
The mystery lies within the Godhead
The humming birds and the whistling toad
The mango blossom and the pineapple stem
The tree of life and the precious gem
The forbidden fruit all contain the truth
Last year June I was eating prune
And you showed up exactly at noon
We stared briefly at each other before getting together
You invited me to a luxurious restaurant
And cast a signature with my confidant
We got drunk and you stripped everything down to the trunk
You blow the whistle and I played the fiddle
You roll the dice and I made the choice
You spilt milk into my face and scatter prunes all over the place
We had a jolly good time and reached out to the divine 
The moment passed so quickly how could you forget so swiftly
We made a fantastic deal and exchanged an automobile 
It was a beautiful day and we lead each other astray
We made a unique sacrifice and you paid an enormous price
You rode diligently on the mountain top 
And I cursed tenderly on top with all that I had got
I wet the interior of your window sill
with the evening dew dripping from the jaws of the sky
I kept riding on top of the hill until my appetite was fulfilled  
I could feel the burning passion floating beneath the belly of the sky
Sending strokes of lightening rod around the earth
As white clouds thundered by licking the plant bending over me
We reached the seventh heaven on the count of eleven
And asked God to forgive our transgression 
For the obscure obsession and burning passion
Our warm bodies wrapped tenderly around the tree
Sucking honey from the bee until we both agreed
I could feel all its warmth and glory swirling in my head
It’s as if something mystical had risen from the dead
The soft lights shone brightly behind the backdrop
Cementing my hope and raising me up so that I could glow
The mountain gods bellow from afar
And my spirit began to grow tall
My faith enlarge and my mind expanded over the land
I listen to your silent whispers
As the night grows deeper
I glanced at your beautiful eyes 
and was extremely satisfied
The world’s problem can be solved in a day
If you kneel down and pray.
