Elephant Bear

Well I call these the hopeful days
Though we all seem to fall from grace
She was a friend to a certain end
But now she’s gone
My momma crying on the phone
She said your father’s going home
To where he knows he belongs
I don’t want the pretty girl tonight
I’m going home alone to wonder why
I’m so tired of trying to try try try try
Said my friend Paul he’s a giant bear
My momma named me little bear
We got beards and we got the beat beat beat beat
Oh looking so good together,
You guys are looking so good together
Keep watch over over over each other
You guys are looking so good together
Keep watch over over over each other
You guys are so good
Well I’m balancin’ on a railroad beam
The wind picks up my body leans
Into a sanctuary off in the trees
Where Kirby says now brother Dave
You’re not alone in being saved
I found my elephant in Jesus’ soul
We’re solving
A time and a place to everything
A girl and a boy and a song to sing
Letters from Alabama read
Darling
Laura Laura I’m convinced
You are a flower in our midst
So strongly from the roots
And growing in my garden
Oh looking so good together,
You guys are looking so good together
Keep watch over over over each other
You guys are looking so good together
Keep watch over over over each other
You guys are so good
Well under the shade of a banyan tree
I met an unusual young lady
Learning and wonderin’ about it all
I heard her sing
Ain’t it wonderful to be alive and know
You can sing your heart to pieces
And still be whole
I stepped from the ledge
On the summit edge
And let my voice out
She said to sing about friends and lovers
Bout a time
You were off in the mountains
Freein’ your mind
What did you find out
During your climbs
Do you have some kind of answer
I shrugged my shoulders
And I looked at my feet
I said this world’s a mighty big place for me
But I like to believe I’m ready for anything
