The Daily Boost #670

You're a thread upon the loom

WHEN THE SPIRIT WALKS IN THE ROOM
Bruce Cockburn

Manhattan or Dakar
Makes no difference where you are
It doesn't matter what you think
Or if you smoke or if you drink

You're a thread upon the loom
When the spirit walks in the room

You could be naked, you could be armed
You could be charming, you could be charmed
You could be open, you could be closed
Be one of us or one of those

Refrain

On the march or on the run
It matters not, what you have done
Nor what you'll do, nor what you'll say
We play the role we're made to play

We're but threads upon the loom
When the spirit walks in the room

It can appear at any hour
When it comes, it comes in power
You may not walk, you may not see
But you'll become what you can be

Refrain

(My thanks to Bruce Cockburn.)
