Listen
“Linda, Lindaaa Listeen, Listen Lindaaa…”
“Linda, Lindaaa Listeen, Listen Lindaaa…”
You whisper in my ear
Tell me your wonders
Unfold for me what you want me to hear
Tell me the secrets without asunder
I see a man who hails from Heaven
Who can stand holding a cross
He wears a crown of thorns; He is leaven
For all humanity who gets lost in the sauce
His hands, feet, and side bleed
For my affection, they call out to me
It doesn’t matter, I can’t achieve it with no deed
White knuckled I did conceive but I could never be
What he wanted me to be but instead
I felt a peace; I went and I did give
He called out and truthfully said,
“Come to me and you shall live.”
“What does that mean?” I truly asked.
But no answer came; you left without a trace
Abandonment I knew with no task
Leaving me in the terrible dead embrace
I’m alone. Come quick
My beloved, my dear one
Come quickly because I’m sick
Do not delay I want the sun
I thirst to only be
Beside your wounded heart
So come on as we
Start
To listen to this crazy soul
Underneath all the dross
Mixed everything into a bowl
Down in the dregs is loss
I hear the hums and the beats
I listen to the sound
I don’t know my home on the streets
Always going with a loud pound
That’s why I need a helping hand
Pilgrim, I am, walking in the dark
I don’t know where to go in this whole land
Ready to take on the world, leaving my mark
Achieve, I try but then I look down and see
That I’m not… I’m not that person I condone
In the mirror, I could go now and be
Biting and tasting flesh near the bone
I was to become a man who didn’t know
Now I was stuck without a plan
Who he was or where he was to go
Seeking in the desert of a cultish man
Striving for perfection for a falsehood
I didn’t realize I could be so much more
Life slipped through my fingers I didn’t know if I could
Break from that life of drugs, fame, and whores
But still, I wander through this dark wood
Still, quiet, listening for a sound
Holding fast to what is good.
That isn’t what I expect as I turn around
Death and decay surround me
But then suddenly I know stepping through the door
In all this wildlife, sit down, have some tea
Cause you never know what life has in store
You hear? You see?
