Nettie!
My nettie home.
Dear god, dear stars, dear trees, dear sky, dear peoples, dear everything, dear
god,
God is inside me and everyone else that was or ever will be.
I came into this world with god
And when I finally looked inside, I found it, just as close as my breath is to
me.

Like the sun
Is the hope that sets us free

Your heart beat make my heart beat
Celie / nettie / sofia / shug / mister / adam / olivia
When we share love.
Full company
Like a blade of corn, like a honeybee,
Like a waterfall, all a part of me.
Like the color purple, where do it come from? now my eyes are open, look what
god has done.
