our elohim

move aside
haven’t you had your turn 
i want to see my god too 
i’m elbowing my way through 
oh this crowd 
is in my way 
children, come, hold fast
let’s try to get ahead 

let us pass through

let us push through

this steady stream of the nations 

i want to look within 
i make my prayer in tears 
i chant the name of the ones i worship 
the ones i give my allegiance to
i perspire in the heat 
i steady my ground
i can’t care for the ones 
before and behind me 
all around me 
though we are all here 
together 
to see for ourselves 
our god 
is this something bigger than me?
is this truer than what i believe?
