I'd Like To Shake Hands With The One

I would like to see the eternal me And hear how I survived I would like to meet the eternal me Give thanks for the life sufficed I would like to meet the eternal me And be told nothing can harm you. I'd like to shake hands with the one Who's giving up trying to be in control? That's joined my heart and soul That has forgotten how to dramatize. I'd like to shake hands with the one Who has accepted all my faults? Ask when we/I can do it all again. Amen! Oh, guess you think! I'm out of my cotton-picking mind But with a little help from my eternal self I am one of a kind. I could just do with being a little better aligned. I was like a key in an old rusted lock frustrated I just need a little delicate handling And my vaulted treasures I beg I'll supplicate Will dress my attire and place on my crown And I will see and stir a new heading And sleep more heavenly on my eiderdown.
