Musical Mondays: God Left the Ground to Circle the World

Boy with a coin he found in the weeds
With bullets and pages of trade magazines
Close to a car that flipped on the turn
When God left the ground to circle the world

Hey.... Oh....

Girl with a bird she found in the snow
That flew up her gown, and that's how she knows
That God made her eyes for crying at birth
Then left the ground to circle the earth

Hey....Oh....

Boy with a coin he crammed in his jeans
Then making a wish, and tossed in the seat
Then walked to a town that all of us burned
When God left the ground to circle the world


I chose this song because it reminds me of the question I constantly ask myself: Has God left us to our own devices? Did she give birth to the world and retreat into herself to watch what all its creatures would make of it? I wondered about it this morning, in fact.
