I am a zen Mormon boy
I might be envied by a king.
Perhaps he'd find relief in zen signing.
I am a zen Mormon boy.
Why fool with fossil carbon energy
When we've got this other technology?
I am a zen Mormon boy.
Quite zen in its simplicity is our fuel cell
Especially as coupled to photovoltaics as well.
I am a zen Mormon boy.
A virtuous cycle of oxygen and hydrogen
Is appropriately clean within our Mormon temple of zen.
Humanity got captured by something else,
Clinging to the past, clinging to self.
We thought it was cheap without looking ahead;
We let it rule our hearts and our heads.
The foundation of our temple was in peril.
It was then zen Mormons had to set an example
Of how to behave within our one and only temple
And keep it clean for all God's people
Who dwell upon its fragile surface
And cherish its capacity to sustain us.
For I am a zen Mormon boy.
Oh yeah, a zen Mormon boy.
I might be envied by a king.
Perhaps what he needs is some zen singing
