| In people without religion
|
| In steeples crowded with pigeons
|
| In visions of evil
|
| Through the key hole out of the prison
|
| Without a decision, fishing, in a father that listens
|
| In a tower, around a collar, in Obama’s position
|
| For the power, dollars, division, and the honor it’s given
|
| In a martyr, in women, in Shawn Carter, in all children
|
| Shrouded in Turin
|
| Burning in shrubs, learning to love, rounding a turban
|
| On the curb, in the club with a bourbon and drunk
|
| In sermons, in a permanent slump determined to flunk
|
| As a vermin making earnings from trunks
|
| Serving the junks
|
| Cus I need Him most, bleeding on the cement
|
| In a sea of demons- beaming
|
| Being treated with a chemo dose
|
| Seated with a vino within a scene of latinos
|
| He was seen hosting a feast in His medieval clothes
|
| Cleaning all our feet with soap, speaking to ghosts
|
| Leading a pope, beaten and broke
|
| Even on a piece of toast
|
| And He the most eaten with the least
|
| In a fetus, in a golden fleece
|
| Meeting with the chief, with elitists
|
| In a genius, when that athlete was defeated
|
| In the math, in an atom blast, every time my team wins
|
| To hide a lie and to achieve spins
|
| For me to be idolized, on a drive, for my own reasons
|
| Because they tell me it’s a lesson in our rebirth
|
| Because in hell our breath burns and our knees hurt
|
| Because we know He knelt with lepers and freed serfs
|
| Because it helps sell records and t-shirts
|
| Books, hats, stickers, sweaters, and knee skirts
|
| And in good, bad, and indifferent weather I see works
|
| In the hood tatted, with little help from the priest circuit
|
| In the woods, mad at belief, and a tree serpent
|
| And where the church is, and the worst is
|
| These surface statements lead’em to a basement where they hurt kids
|
| Sure did, burning the earth, cursed, learning to surf
|
| First, with a thirst, and this myrrh
|
| He was bursting from a nova, surfacing from a coma
|
| Said the person who rolled up cursing his melanoma
|
| When I was worthy to no one and now I’m worthy to know Him
|
| With iron sharpening iron with fire, lions, and sultans
|
| Admired, tired, with liars, with friars, choirs exalting
|
| And now I’m revolting, as a squire, high in the vaulted ceilings
|
| In kneeling, bent in a tent begging for healing
|
| Wheeling and dealing, begging for rent, ain’t that appealing
|
| At least’s that’s what he said before his hands started feeling
|
| So the yeast ain’t in my bread to recall the land I am free from
|
| And He is just one and He’s all three
|
| Calling me to give some love to teens with palsy
|
| As seen on TV, we sing till all free
|
| As seen with three Kings, so bring some offerings
|
| Think
|
| Is it a cult of personality
|
| A cultural excursion, multiverse, a formality
|
| The bulk of all our worth a sullied earth an abnormality
|
| A skull for every version a person who passes casually
|
| Calloused at birth an Alice in search of causality
|
| Plausible audible now are all called applaudable
|
| Shouting like Roland Orzabal will all fall like quarters in ears
|
| If you doubting the magician is here
|
| Listen if you can hear to the heart of it all
|
| To the subtle consciousness that has started it all
|
| To the chart on the wall even to the art of the fall
|
| Reaching to the bark was the arch of it all
|
| Reaching to the bark was the arch of it all
|
| Reaching to the bark was the arch of it all
|
| Reaching to the bark was the arch of it all |
