Make me over

Make me over

If you had a chance God
To make me anew
Create a few more features
What would you really do?

At first thoughts i'd change lots
My gender, race and height
I' want loads of muscles and tatoos
Always ready for a fight

Make me tall dark and handsome,
Gimme some social and financial wealth
I'd like to be a smooth player
Handling life with guile and stealth

Some houses and cars would be fine
Pretty girls knocking at my door
I'd care for no one, by a wild man
I'd straight up do em on the floor

Now wait a minute, on second thoughts
These might not be real solid desires
Would with these characteristics I not be masking
Some deep burning intense internal issues and fires

Alright God, i dont need all these
Maybe even take these back
I might be way better off
If in lots of these i lack

Please make me wise God
And make my heart kind
Make it yearn for goodness and faith
Let it yearn for you to find

Give me some peace and comfort
Some hope for a heart full of joy
The ability to comprehend that every void in life
Can not be filled by a shiny new toy

Give me friends Lord, but even more than that
Let me be friends with you
Please transform me to a solid person
One whose intentions are true

These things can all be done now God
Making over might not be so essential
I need to trust in you, and be open to pain
Recognizing and then faith are so fundamental

  1. :-) Such passion! Such honesty!
    Your journey will bear more fruit than
    you could ever serve at any heroic feast.

  2. "We will shake and we'll be quiet as mice
    And while the cat is away
    Do what we want
    Do what we want

    There's an empty space inside my heart
    Where the weeds take root
    So now I'll set you free
    I'll set you free

    'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick
    Just to see what if, just to see what is
    The bird that's flown into my room

    Slowly we unfurl as lotus flowers
    'Cause all I want is the earth upon a stick
    I dance around the pit, the darkness is beneath
    I can't kick your habit
    Just to feed your fast ballooning head
    Listen to your heart"
