Yes, I need deliverance...but I’d settle for a smile...

Gino Vannelli - Walter Whitman Where Are You?

Walter Whitman where are you
Among the stars or in the earth beneath my shoe
It’s just cause I’m wondering
Could you walk with me a mile
And maybe heaven could spare you awhile

Walter Whitman I confess
My faith is shaken
And my life is a holy mess
Yes, I need deliverance
But I’d settle for a smile
Now maybe heaven can spare you awhile

I thought I heard you yawpin’ from the yonder tree
I swore I heard you say
"don’t worry boy, shut up, enjoy, be free"

Walter Whitman I declare
I could sing songs of joy
Through my darkness and despair
It’s just I’m hoping
You could shed a little light
That is if heaven can spare you tonight

"Don’t worry boy, shut up, enjoy, be free"

Walter Whitman I declare
I could sing songs of joy
Through my darkness and despair
It’s just I’m hoping
Yoy could coax a problem child
Now maybe heaven can spare you a while

Walter Whitman where are you...?
