My Sweet Lord
sweat off hand when to understand the twist of such a man
in the garden you prayed to your father was it any wonder
shelter left for shelter and falling under
just to touch the hem on his garment
the pitter patter of soft sandal feet
there in intense pain with blood droplets
never the less let your will be down thine kingdom come
Jesus Christ died 2,000 years ago today
on the cross for all the world to see
what was his prayer what was his final plea
father forgive them they know not what they do
he said the prayer now the rest is up to you
you had known us from the very beginning
even onto this very day we close our eyes to pray
shadows block the vortex of the myraid eye
temples in hiding to do their bidding
you know the very hairs on each of our heads
gripping fragments of explanations
