Singing Lessons - Judy Collins

God of the rivers and the waterfalls\nGod of thunder and lightening\nGod of the plains and the mountains\nOf rainbows and prairies\nGod of birth and death\nOf love and hope\nGod of sun and moon\nGod of ocean tides\nYou, who drive the stars\nYou of perfect light\nTeach me how to sing\nAnd it came to pass on a cloudy night\nThat I found myself lost in the dark\nAnd the wind blew cold and I was afraid\nAnd if love were lost how would I live\nYou were like some mist in the fading light\nAnd my broken dreams wept in the night\nWhere was all the love we had known before\nIn this sea of tears would I reach the shore\nGod of sun and moon\nGod of oceans tides\nYou, who drive the stars\nYou of perfect light\nTeach me how to sing\nI was on my knees, I was at the end\nThere was nothing left, I would never mend\nWhen I heard a song in the waves that tossed\nDeath is not the end, there is nothing lost\nGod of sun and moon\nGod of ocean tides\nYou, who drive the stars\nYou of perfect light\nTeach me how to sing\nMusic of the spheres through eternity\nSay that through your tears you will always see\nSay the more you lose that the more you own\nAnd the more you love that the more you\nSay the pain you feel opens up your heart\nWhere the swallows flew there was once a cloud\nNow the sun was bright and the river smiled\nAnd I heard you say, «Death is just a dream\nMake your songs again, you must always sing»\nGod of sun and moon\nGod of ocean tides\nYou, who drive the sun\nYou of perfect light\nTeach me how to sing\nGod of everything\nTeach me how to sing\nGod of everything
