Catastrophe, I thank you
Disaster, you win
For getting my head back on straight again
For setting my heart in a giving place again
For my life and my love.
Catastrophe, I owe you one
Disaster, chalk up this one
To letting the Highest in again
To betting He’ll make His point again
In my life through His love.
There’s nothing I would miss here
I’m tired of the stress
Being lesser in the face of others’ riches
Being rich in the face of others’ distresses.
There’s nothing I would miss here
I’m tired of the greed
Hating others for their faults
Faulting others through our hate.
Catastrophe, I salute you
Disaster, I bow to you
For introducing humans to humanity again
For introducing Earthlings to the earth again
Through this life, we might return to love.
