Green Light

May you drift in the current

Of the day you're swimming through

May you

May you know that you are

Nobody else but you

May you

And you may find that the kids are

Running 'round the front lawn

For you may see that the page is

Lines you haven't yet drawn

in the evening

You may find the night

But in the morning

May you get the green light

May you get the green light

May you find that your God is

Only human kindness

And may you see that the concrete

Is no less divine than this

Oh, you have seen that the good days

Come and that they go too

And you may find all the heartache

Passing to and from you

It is passing to and from you, you

Please and thank you, bless you, to a hundred may you live

Please and thank you, bless you, to a hundred and again

In the evening you may find the night

But in the morning may you get the green light

May you get the green light

May you know every leaf that

Gathers in the junkyard

And may you find that the rain's just

Rust under the old car
