Leslie's Question

{D}Why am I here in this {G}place of ex{D}changes

With {A7}things to buy and {D}things to add up?

Why do they trust me, and {G}whom can I {D}trust?

If I {A7}give of me, what can they {D}take?

Was {G}this little {A7}Leslie’s {D}question?

How am I loved in {G}this world of {D}strangers

With {A7}glitter and gold to {D}make them add up?

How can they love me, and {G}whom can I {D}love?

If I {A7}give of me, what can they {D}take?

Was {G}this loving {A7}Leslie’s {D}question?

You are here as a sparrow, as a {G}lily in this {D}field,

As a {A7}gift wanting nothing to {D}buy.

You are loved as a sparrow, as a {G}lily of all {D}fields,

Just {A7}you, not your glitter or {D}gold.

If I can, and you want, I will {G}make you a {D}place,

{A7}Safe for your trust and {G}safe for our {D}love,

With the birds of our hands and the {G}flowers of our {D}gardens,

Can {A7}this answer Leslie’s {D}question,

{G}My lovely {A7}Leslie’s {D}question?
