Levitation

Levitation was my dream I thought I could do it without breaking a sweat I prayed to Jesus because I knew He knew, just what to do. He didn't answer me, any way not right away But it didn't stop me from dreaming, and visualizing. So I scratched my infantile head And said let's start this journey from my rickety bed I closed my eyes and imagined I could fly I imagined I had wings, with a 7ft span, and I could fly I closed my eyes and nightmares followed. And as-I-was just about to die when I learnt to fly. I levitated up into the neon sky And was like mercury rising in a tube of light I counted my blessings; I'd escaped some awful fiend A monster with gnashing jet-black teeth A grimacing demon comes to collect my heart Some brutish thing comes to pluck my last breath tonight But tonight, I can levitate But tonight, I can fly But tonight, I can escape with my soul intact But tonight, I can hover, tonight I can soar… Just as I thought I could do, do without any sweat And Jesus, you're still the first one in my prayers I sing to when I know, I've been saved from any mortal harm. You see I levitate whenever danger ever nears You see I just fly whenever I'm outnumbered and alone You see Lord, I'm just a sheep lost from its fold Whenever I've been tethered and fearful Lord, I want only to levitate to be near you I only want to ascend, so as to be one day your friend Levitation was my dream I thought I could do it without any sweat I prayed to Jesus, and tonight I made my first-ever flight. He didn't answer right away But it didn't stop me from dreaming, and visualizing. I prayed to Jesus, and tonight I made my first-ever flight. And from death and danger, I flew quite out of sight. Oh, levitation was my dream, and tonight I made my first-ever flight. And Jesus you were right not to answer me right away. Right-away… right-away… Oh, how now I could cry… And levitate on high. Oh, you're still the first one in my prayers I sing to when I know I've been saved, Lord, saved without a single rip in my slim-fit corduroy cords. You see, there are even miracles jumping over hedgerows When a levitated wind blows.
