Washing Line

On the washing line 
Hung out to dry
These soaked fabrics
Left to the sun's magic
But who could imagine?
That the earth could be the lantern
That lights up our earth 
And drys our clothes from birth

Oh, how we all dangle
Twisted and put through the mangle
Relying on the sun to shine
To take us to a land so fine
Waiting for so long
Something is wrong

Hung on a hook
A tattered coat 
This ancient relic
Left on its own merit
But who could imagine?
A coat as grand as a mountain
Hung for such a time
But never from a washing line

Oh, how the wise man drapes 
Endless joy and no complaints
The sun is inside him
This is where the souls residing
Home, where it belongs
Nothing is wrong
