Blackbird Singing
A poem from Paul McCartney's book of poems and lyrics
I found this one interesting because he rarely speaks of God. This poem is about his wife, Linda, that passed away.
NOVA
(from A Garland For Linda)
Are you there?
God where are you?
Are You hiding in Your heaven?
Or beneath Your deepest sea?
Was there something in our past imperfect?
Is it something that we should have known?
Are You there?
God where are You?
Are You hiding God?
Are You hiding in the rain?
Are You hiding?
Are You there?
I am here...
I am here in every song you sing
In the winds of a rising lark
Through the darkness to the morning light.
I am present in everything.
I am here as first a new born babe
Opens eyes on the universe.
I am here
I am here now.
I am with You.
I am here as every flake of snow
Washes white on the countryside.
As each green blade stretches for the sun.
I am here watching over them.
I am here as first a new born babe
Opens eyes on the universe.
With each step I'll be the arm that guides
Now and then till the end of time.
Amen
