Summertime Blues

Laying in bed
Harsh sunlight
Scorches my head

Heat index is high
As I lay there
I wonder why

Is El Nino to blame
Or is it just part
Of some divine game

Listless and low energy
Trapped like a prisoner
Yearning to be free

Sweat streams my face
The sun blazes
I rely on God’s grace

Before long
The air will be cold
We’ll sing a Christmas song

The sun keeps blazing
But I no longer despair
It is Christ I’m praising
