They Call Him a Carpenter

They Call Him A Carpenter

Bent over from the swirl of air

 pulsating images in his head

 hands, feet & face

 A following of emotional escape

 Pierced hands & side

 A revolutionary they said

 What was going on inside the heads

 At the temple the anger was on fire

 Fought back the silence toward words of desire
 His mother saw the fierce hatred toward her son

 tears, fears & questions
 All of our sins were laid at his feet
 He could of called hundreds of thousands of angels by his side
 Yet still the carpenter went through with it all
