LYRICS
Our birth
Is God’s gift to the Earth
What are you going to do
About your Christmas shopping, too?

It’s not odd
Getting God
A gift
It’s a matter of if

Instead of just for Lent
I was thinking of a lifetime servant
That would be
Me
For free

God,
Your present is my present
Which I hope to endure into the future
Your gift is a man
Her I am
A man, Amen

LYRICS
Money
Like flies to honey
It’s the disease bringing people to their knees
It’s the disease bringing people to their knees

I say, “God!” as I fall to my knees, “give me some, please!”
(more money please)
While busker says the word
A gift from a lord
Brings back faith in prosperity

Money
Like flies to honey
It’s the disease bringing people to their knees
It’s the disease crippling people such as these
While the busker plays the chord
A flowerchild pulls her sword,
Blows bubbles… restores faith in humanity

ABOUT THE SONG
Dm / Am
C / Am

Written and recorded on October 17, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. I had been playing the guitar part and just started writing the lyrics when a kind gentleman came over and gave me money. Then, a hippie-chick surprised me with a shower of bubbles. What a day to be thankful.

Daniel — Vocals, Guitar
