I shook hands with God

We made the ocean warm and cold
The waves crash like lightning
Earth rose from the sea
Jagged peaks and flat fields
Tree roots ***** into the dirt; fixated
Spreading branches like arms
dropping leaves like tears
Changing colors like emotions
We were wild man
We made this world
We had fun

Puzzle pieces of beasts
fur, feathers and stone
Some took to the sky
Others laid on the oceans bottom
And a man, adam, who ruled them all
We looked from above
Amazed how they grew
God didn't see euphoria in me
So when i wasn't looking
...so he decided to make you

And you were beautiful
On the 7th day god rested...
But we danced
We jumped on the moon
Laid in craters
I poked my fingers through
this deep black sheet of nothingness
Illuminated bright white light
I called them stars

We jumped
Fell fast from the sky
Wind through our hair
Wind through our bodies
Deep breath in, lungs filled with life
I let out everything I could
And we stopped so softly
upon a mountain of air
Holding hands floating through waves
I called them clouds
We were wild man
I made a world for you...with you

...and God gave you free will
Even though i made things
You chose to leave
dropped you down from heaven
so you could be yourself
God said you and Adam were perfect
I had to agree....

God wasn't looking
I took the form of a serpent
Tricked you and Adam with fruit
Opened your mind like you opened mine
God threw you out of Perfection
Making you and Adam roam the world
Nothing you grew would produce
But you were
.....together

God kept me in this shape
To Always crawl on my belly so you can step on my head
I told him i needed a home
He said, "Lucifer, I give you fire!"
...and here i am
With millions of other people
Who got scared because they lost control
We chose this fire

I shook hands with God Today
