Teach Me Again Lyrics

Teach me again of redemptive glimpses

Of the sweet song of "Daddy" from innocent lips

Teach me of love, to pour out above

A hand on my shoulder where gravity rules

I want to make you proud, but I know that's not what it's about

Teach me again the song of the rose

Not to get hung up on poetry and prose

Teach me again the meaning of survivors

To always point my knees toward water

I want to make you proud, but I know that's not what it's about

Teach me to lean in the center of God's will

And to use the shovel here in my hand

Teach me that two sinners together

Will not make something beautiful alone

I want to make you proud, but I know that's not what it's about

Teach me that trees don't seek their pleasure

The slings and arrows of yesterday leap/sleep

Teach me to hold, but not hold too tightly

The joys of this world, to cherish them gently

I want to make you proud, but I know that's not what it's about
