What’s The Frequency?

GOD’S RADIO 1

(Letter from Elvis…Costello & Presley) 3/8/2012

“Take this piece of paper

it’s up to you to provide the pen

wake up from your slumber

write down what you remember ¾

try sleeping again”

“Forget about the dialogue

It isn’t so important what I said to you

It’s about the music, in your dream,

I brought it for you”

“I can’t say I know how this thing works

That much is true ¾

but I’ve gotten my biggest and best this way ¾

it might work for you

“Many of the greatest

had one by their bed

Paul woke up one morning,

“scrambled eggs” inside his head”

“You can’t buy one anywhere

it’s purchased with the soul

and powered by your love of music ¾

God’s Radio”

“I wouldn’t worry too much

if the signal is weak or strong

Just know when the music starts playing

it’s best to sing along ¾

By the way, your mother says, “hello”.”

GOD’S RADIO 2

Holding on to you is a painful thing to do.

I’ll embrace your memory and pray that maybe

I can see this through.

Many years have passed, and I have worn this mask.

Now, with your approval, comes removal.

I am free at last.

Could it be that every time I cried your name

It wasn’t in vain,

Travelling the heavenly wire of God’s Radio?

I’ve always had your love, but when the times were tough

As I knelt I sometimes felt

as if it wasn’t enough.

My heart I had to hide, ever since you died.

But you never left me, I must be blessed,

I feel you deep inside.

Do you see me from where you are,

In your place in the sky, a million miles high,

Manning the heavenly wire of God’s Radio?

Mom, it’s me. I’m doing really fine. But from time to time,

I wish you were here,

But I’m going to broadcast my soul

on God’s Radio.
