Breach In Your Heart
Back

Songs Lyrics

My Father - How they hurt you
You who loved them enough - to chastise
Look how they beat you and imprisoned you
You who only wanted to save their lives

My Teacher - How they tortured you
 You who loved them enough to expect more of them
Look how they chained you and defamed you
You who only wanted to restore them

My King - Look how they bloodied you
You who wanted them to stop feeling sorry
Look how they martyred you - Look how they murdered you
You who only wanted to reveal their glory

Here is the mystery - Listen to me
The picture must develop in the dark
Bear this spark in your soul - until it is born
Until it breaks through the breach - in your heart

Come singers, Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen, Bob Zimmerman
This is the one to whom you owe your praise
You who were leaders, what now do you follow
Can't you see these are the true protest days

My eyes - Look how they've blinded me
Took them away - Left me groping in the dark
There will never be another one like you
Who picked us up and carried us through
But I'll not lose faith - I'll continue to carry the weight you bore

Chorus - Solo

My Cherished One - Look how they buried you
You who only wanted to brign out their virtue
Look how they felt no pain - And still they feel no shame
You who brought them life - Even as they buried you

My Annointed One - Look how they struck you
How they killed you with words - And the penalty that now they've incurred
Look how they ran when they saw you come
Look how they hid behind the trigger of the gun
Look how even now they don't realize - Just who you were

(Chorus)
