Seven Psalms: The Lord

Paul Simon


I've been thinking about the great migration

Noon and night they leave the flock

And I imagine their destination

Meadow grass, jagged rock

The Lord is my engineer

The Lord is the earth I ride on

The Lord is the face in the atmosphere

The path I slip and I slide on

A crystal comet

Starlit night

Silver moon

To smooth the edge of daylight

Now turned the evening rose

Tribal voices

Old and young

Celebrations

A history of families sung

The endless river flows

The Lord is my engineer

The Lord is the earth I ride on

The Lord is the face in the atmosphere

The path I slip and I slide on

The Lord is a virgin forest

The Lord is a forest ranger

The Lord is a meal for the poorest of the poor

A welcome door to the stranger
