There is no such thing as nothing, yet there is such thing as nothing, simply because there is nothing such as nothing.

Flowing fluid grace,
Mixed with stunning spirit,
You deign to bow your head
To us

You tolerate
Our imperfections,
Our anger,
Our hate

You tolerate it,
You tame it,
Lend us your grace,
Your power

If only for a moment,
An hour, a day,
We are free,
As you are
