Man-Made

There was something incredible
Growing in the earth that I found
Man-made magnolias
That were budding from this ground

There was something oh so lovely
Glowing from the bottom of me
Man-made forgiveness
That floated around the sea

Something that acted out wildly
That made me fear my very head
Man-made anxieties
That weighed as heavy as lead

All of these flashing colored lights
And all of these horrible nights
Man-made relaxations
Will never quite work out right
