Analysis of Toward the Lord
Ah, bliss, Lord!
The sounds, soothing me!
An elegance is heard on the winds...burr, pushh,
wisssh'ing me an easy peace.
I am transported!
A distant radiant sun, shinning out no matter the weather,
I am the light, the burr,
riddled with ego,
but flying into a holy state of grace.
Just one state away!
