The Cornerstone |
| I saw the desert wind |
| Tear across the wilderness |
| I felt it blowing off the page |
| The teacher told me, «son |
| Always remember this» |
| And I have always been afraid |
| I read about the god of Moses |
| Roaring in the holy cloud |
| It shook my bedroom window panes |
| I did not understand then |
| I do not understand now |
| I don’t expect you to explain |
| You’ve been a mystery since the moment that I met you |
| You never move but I can never seem to catch you |
| The cornerstone |
| You said to eat your flesh |
| Before you broke the bread and blessed it |
| Before you poured the wine for every man |
| This is a hard, hard teaching |
| Can any man accept it? |
| Can any sage here understand? |
| You turned the tables over |
| There in your father’s temple |
| You cracked a whip and raised a shout |
| My daughter asked me why |
| I said, «love is never simple |
| It draws 'em in and drives 'em out.» |
| I saw you there but it was too late to change my course |
| And I collided with a beautiful immovable force |
| And so the stone that I rejected |
| It has become the cornerstone |
| All the maps were drawn |
| But the maps were wrong |
| The stars spin around |
| Another sun |
| All the maps were drawn |
| But the maps were wrong |
| The rivers are running from |
| The cornerstone |
| And you looked me in the eye and fixed me with a permanent stare |
| I met your gaze and saw the forges of the firmament there |
| The cornerstone |
| And the floods come up |
| And the rains come down… |
