it moves me

So for the past week or so I have been listening to this song a few times a day. I feel like I almost need to. It moves me every time. It's awesome. And I mean awesome. Here's the part that moves me:




In darkness a light shines on me.
In darkness a light shines on you.
I never gathered figs from a thorny branch
I never picked a grape off a bramble bush
For the past five, almost six years now
You haven't once looked at me with kindness in your eyes
And you say Judas is a brother of mine?
Oh brother, sister in our darkness a light shines!
And all I ever want to say for the rest of my life
Is how the light is God
And through I've been mistaken on this or that point,
That light is God.


Here are the rest of the lyrics because they too, are awesome:

Without a queen the locust swarm
Turned the ground to black,
Descending like a shadowy tower upon a fish's back.
And scattered the sticks who crawled
Like snakes in the sand,
As the red clay took the form of a lizard,
Who rushed like a moth to the flame of my open hand

(My little world...in my sad little world...)

Then a speckled bird humbly inspired
Ran across the road when it could have flown,
And it made me smile.
And at the water's edge, Babylon;
As we lay and slept,
The river wept for you, Zion!
The stones cry out,
Bells shake the sky!
All of creation groans...

SHHHH!

Listen to it!

Messes of men in farmer poverty;
Not much for monks, but we pretend to be;
Share a silent meal and a pot of chamomile.
Gypsies like us should be stamped in solidarity.
And I held you in my fond but distant memory,
While waiting for the Mother Hen to gather me,
Who regretfully wrote:

"You have a decent ear for notes,
But you can't yet appreciate harmony"

O porcupine, low in the tree; your eyes to mine:

"You'd be well inclined not to mess with me."

And at the garden's edge beneath a speechless sky,
As his friends slept,
Jesus wept - and it's no wonder why.
You wanna be set free?
You wanna set me free?!
Well that can only come from
A union with the One Who Never Dies.

[In my little world, in my sad little world, I patched a plaster wall, in my little world.
In my little world, I was waiting, just dying to take offense at something, in my little world
In my little world, in my sad little world
This is all there is in my little world.]
