Amazing Grace

Falsetto, rain on me
Pull me in, and the crowd
Under the tent, before you

Feeling the words
Wash over us
Lilt and sparkle

In the heat,
Smell of etouffee, of sweat
In the gospel tent

Mt. Zion Gospel Choir
And Mr. Aaron Neville share the stage
With the wedding couple
And a sea of fans
Like me
Lost in the wonder
Of the words and the gift
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound

The members of Los Lobos were near me, watching as I was.

I saw the wedding couple riding in a carriage

in the French Quarter that night.
