Geodes - Carrie Newcomer[00:00:01]
No you can't always tell one from another[00:00:05]
And it's best not to judge a book[00:00:11]
By it's tattered cover[00:00:15]
I have found when I tried or looked deeper inside[00:00:18]
What appears unadorned might be wondrously formed[00:00:23]
You can't always tell but sometimes you just know[00:00:29]
Round here we throw geodes in our gardens[00:00:35]
They're as common as the rain or corn silk in July[00:00:41]
Unpretentious browns[00:00:47]
And grays the stain of Indiana clay[00:00:49]
They're what's left of shallow seas[00:00:53]
Glacial rock and mystery[00:00:56]
And inside their shines a secret bright as promise[00:00:59]
All these things that we call familiar[00:01:05]
Are just miracles clothed in the commonplace[00:01:11]
And you'll see it if you try in the next stranger's eyes[00:01:18]
God walks around in muddy boots[00:01:23]
Sometimes rags and that's the truth[00:01:26]
You can't always tell[00:01:29]
But sometimes you just know[00:01:31]
Some say geodes were made from pockets of tears[00:01:36]
Trapped away in small places for years upon years[00:01:42]
Pressed down and transformed[00:01:48]
Until the true self was born[00:01:51]
And the whole world moved on[00:01:54]
Like the last notes of a song[00:01:57]
A love letter sent without return address[00:02:00]
No you can't always tell one from another[00:02:30]
And it's best not to judge a book by it's tattered cover[00:02:36]
I don't open them to see folks round here just like me[00:02:43]
We have come to believe[00:02:49]
There's hidden good in common things[00:02:51]
You can't always tell but sometimes you just know[00:02:55]
You can't always tell but sometimes you just know[00:03:01]
