    jazz is prayer

     jazz is prayer
    out there loose
    on the road
    freedom, G-d it's good

    angels on the highwire
    drifting in the snow
    call me up when
    you have

    the time
    and i walk the walk
    but don't talk the talk
    i'm a phony philosopher

    but who understands
    derrida anyways
    he died in 2000 and 4

    and G-d asked
    what did you learn
    about being human
    hear some jazz
    hear it real

    marxred, A fleeting dedication to a music genre that gives rise to all the feelings and freedom that one can conjure. This one is a free wheeling gem. ginga
