You knew that if you didn't stay on top of the beat
the beat would have its way with you.
Your prayer of music wouldn't be as sincere
if you had followed someone else's prayer.

Your sound, almost indecipherable
but we can hear your unrelenting effort, your patience
carved as a psalm for us, right now
transcending our pettiness and frailty
making us think that we can be better than what we are
because we can hear your music.
Yes, we can hear your music. Thank God.
