A little bit of everything

When I die can I be a California Gurl?
All fluff and sex
candy for the eye?
Can I walk the moon, sit the wall as a fly,
Use space as a tool to find out why?
When I die can I become a wave?
Frothing and foaming over my grave?
Can I fly, can I laugh, can I save?
If the clouds are but water, where do God's tears come from
and the light at the edges, glowing golden, surely that's where he sits?
Watching and laughing with a twinkle no one sees.

When I die.
Can I twinkle too, wear grown up shoes, shed anguish and fears?
Can I look down, see my feet, have long golden hair, canoe the stars?
There will I be the wind and the waves, waiting just waiting for me.
Waiting to collect pieces, scatter them again.

god sits in your heart
and shed his tears through your words
and they haunt our hearts
and you'll never die

You may surely do all this, and watch at the same time.
All is one.
