Lead Me On
I'm convinced my eyelids are
more dense than black holes
Oh Hercules! Oh Samson!
Summon your might that I
might see once again through
the dark and despair of
this world I'm living in
Another morning
another forecast of foggy skies
with no clear vision in sight
Oh Lord! Oh Lord!
Is there life for the blind?
Does the straight and narrow
have a rumble strip?
Surely your mud can heal
the pain of my amaurosis
Yet if not -- bind your
yoke upon my shoulders
Hook your staff around my leg
and lead me through this
dogged penumbra
