you worry to much

Oh soul,
you worry to much.
you say,
i make you feel dizzy.
Of a little headache then,
why do you worry?
you say, i am your antelope.
Of seeing a lion here and there
why do you worry?

Oh soul,
you worry to much.
you say, i am your moon-faced beauty.
Of the cycles of the moon and
passing of the years,
why do you worry?
you say,i am your source of passion,
i excite you.
Of playing into the devils hand,
why do you worry?

Oh soul,
you worry to much.
look at yourself,
what you have become.
you are now a field of sugar canes,
why show that sour face to me?
you have tamed the
winged horse of Love.
Of a death of a donkey,
why do you worry?
you say that i keep you warm inside.
then why this cold sigh?
you have gone to the roof of heavens.
Of this world of dust,why do you worry?

Oh soul,
you worry to much.
since you met me,
you have become a master singer,
and are now a skilled wrangler,
you can untangle any knot.
Of life's little leash
why do you worry?
your arms are heavy
with treasures of all kinds.
about poverty,
why do you worry?
you are Joseph,
beautiful,strong,
steadfast in your belief,
all of egypt has become drunk
because of you.
Of those who are blind to your beauty,
and deaf to your songs, why do you worry?
