Why | |
Why do I search for the reasons | |
Never content just to be | |
Something is waiting and something is near | |
Not found in battle and not found in love | |
Of the earthly sort | |
These won’t last | |
Mere shadows of glory | |
God | |
Here stands a man who can claim such | |
What sort of madness is this | |
Here in Judea- a land full of prophets | |
And quoters of scriptures | |
A carpenter’s son has the gall to claim | |
He is God | |
The keeper of glory | |
I’d hoped to find glory | |
But never like this | |
See, I thought I could win it | |
Thought I could make for myself a crown | |
I would find what I sought at the point of my spear | |
Yet this man, he speaks so clearly | |
Heaven, Heaven, and only there | |
I’ll find what I need | |
I’ll find what we’ve all lost | |
That kingdom called glory | |
No! Maybe I just need to grow up | |
Starting to sound rather mad | |
Melodramatic, a hopeless romantic | |
Just like the rabble, the poor and the blind | |
They follow him | |
They can keep him | |
This won’t last | |
And this isn’t glory | |
I’d hoped to find glory | |
But never like this | |
I thought I could win it | |
What I yearn for | |
Somehow earn more | |
I’m a soldier and a Roman | |
And a champion of the law | |
Yet this man, he speaks so clearly | |
Heaven, Heaven, there and only there |
