Loneliness is sitting at the table
Fear and awful worry's din.
But joy's there too, pounding
A heart trying to get in.

The day is for thanks giving:
And that's courage really living,
Patience beyond and above
With a big appetite for love.

It all comes and goes
Here today and what tomorrowed?
More of those dark, dark foes
Or the cornucopia we borrowed?

It's easy to put away the dishes
And wonder what's left over.
But don't throw me out
With the trash of your doubt.

I love that day and wish it were longer
Like 10,000 years is a day with God.
Wish we could all walk away much stronger
Not glad it's over, where's my freakin' iPod?

The day is for thanks giving:
And that's courage really living,
Patience beyond and above
With a big appetite for love.
