Litany of Gathering Up

I constructed a strange mask
A strange mask
From the pieces of me
I reached
Into the black sky
I dug into the brown earth
And found a piece
And found a piece of me
I stretched
Into the yellow sun
And dived into the roaring sea
And found a piece
Found a piece of me
I
I
I was remade o Lord
I was remade o Lord
I was no longer me
I was the world
The world entire
I was remade o Lord
I was remade o Lord
I was no longer me
I went down
I went down
To the quarantined city
And found
And found
A piece of me
I went down
I went down and made a new
A new and foreign body
And found
When I looked into the river
It was no longer me
I
I
I was remade o Lord
I was remade o Lord
I was no longer me
I was the world
The world entire
I was remade o Lord
I was remade o Lord
I was no longer me
I was the world
The world entire
I went down
I went down
To the quarantined city
And found
And found
A piece of me
I went down
I went down and made a new
A new and foreign body
And found
When I looked into the river
It was no longer me
I went down
I went down and made a new
A new and foreign body
And found
When I saw the crystal river
I was no longer me
