someday ill be god
ill prick the stars out from the night as i please
ill rain the rain through trees and bluster up a breeze
someday ill be god
ill bear and kill at will
i wont mind my mama died
sinners will fly through chimneys
yet i will continue to sin as i please
ill sweep the garbage off the streets
and the streets off my boulevards of green
someday ill be god
ill roast and kill soldiers with my thunderclaps
ill eat the fruits a human eats
but I wont feel the needs a human needs
someday ill be god
ill laugh until i cry
at all the ways my children die
ill trade a human life for a pine tree
a human life for a bean
ill mix human lives with earth until they understand me
someday when im god
ill put spruce trees in the snow
and shine the sun to make them grow
ill fly from land to land
like salmon over beaver dams
i will bear and kill at will
loving stone as much as man
loving man as much as sand
trade for baffin bay a plant
for a plant, a man
