Rocking chair
in my room
there to rock
me off to sleep

sleep of indifference
sleep of selfwill
sleep of temptation
sleep of the mind

rocking chair
slumbers me
from alertness
i should be

awake my soul
battle is raging
awake my soul
the night is near

rocking motion
keeps me sleepy
slumbering
while the world
is dying

i can t
change the world
i can t
make it better

but i can
do my part
whatever that
happens to be

first awake
rise up
out your sleep

lend your ears
put out your hand
speak a word
understand

sow a seed
sow a deed
sow a kindness
be involved

but to start
in the heart
you must
leave the
rocking chair.
