Coat of Many Colors

Coat of Many Colors

A Poem by Chip Murison
"

These are lyric to a song.

"
Richard left home in his coat of many colors
To find what he'd lost
Lost to temptation

He ran away to hide
Into the desert vast and wide
Underneath the starry sky
He dreamed of salvation

Its a short path home now
Don't you remember
Just feel your way now
Back to the splendor

And the wind blows - who who whooo
And the angels sing - Halleluja
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go

Richard walked on the sidewalks of New York City
Lost in the crowds
Searching for answers

There beneath his feet 
He found jewels in the cracks of the street
Growing like weeds
In sweet surrender.

Its a short path home now
Don't you remember
Just feel your way now
Back to the splendor

And the wind blows - who who whooo
And the angels sing - Halleluja
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go

Richard made some wings out of feathered alabaster
To fly above the earth
And touch the sun

He fell into the sea
Nearly victim to reality
Shed his wings he let it be
The struggle was won

Its a short path home
Now you remember
And you feel your way
Back to the splendor

And the wind blows - who who whooo
And the angels sing - Halleluja
Let it go, let it go, let it go
And the angels sing
Let it go
Oh Halleluja
