Alternative Lyrics of The Month / April
In this month of the (possibly peaking) pandemic, even I am not frivolous enough to just post an irreverent set of comic song lyrics.
This is technically a "parody" I suppose, but in my mind, it's an adjustment of a comforting and uplifting song, to more accurately reflect my own spiritual convictions.
Enjoy, or ignore - whatever works!
SHE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD
New words: Patricia Leslie
Tune: He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands (trad. African American spiritual)
She’s got the four directions
In Her hands
She’s got the four directions
In Her hands
She’s got the four directions
In Her hands
She’s got the whole world
In Her hands
Many more possible verses:
She’s got the Pagans and the Witches
She's got the animal companions
She’s got the joyous songbirds
She’s got the hardworking bees
She’s got the threatened and endangered
She’s got the hunters and the hunted
She’s got ev’ry kind of being
She’s got ev’ry ecosystem
She’s got the tiny clover blossom
She’s got the tallest redwood
She’s got the corn and the wheat
She’s got cloudless skies
She’s got the winds from ev’ry quarter
She’s got the fury of the whirlwind
She’s got the spark that lights the fire
She’s got coruscating rainbows
She’s got torrential downpours
She’s got the currents of the oceans
She’s got mountain building powers
She’s got tectonic movements
She’s got the circle of the seasons
She’s got the cycle of rebirth
She’s got the code of DNA
She’s got the motions of the planets
She’s got the universe’s spiral
