Four Word Letter (pt 2) - MeWithoutYou
I wrote a four word letter
With postscript in crooked lines
Although I'd lived I'd never been alive
You know who I am you held my hand
As I travelled blind
Listening to a whispering in my ear
Soft but getting stronger
Telling me the only purpose of my being here
Is to stay a little longer
Stealing a bicycle chain
As the handlebars crashed to the ground
The back wheel detached from the frame
It kept rolling yeah but aimlessly drifting around
Oh doubters let's go down
Lets go down won't you come on down
Oh doubters lets go down
Down to the river to pray
But I'm so small I can barely be seen
How can this great love be inside of me
Look at your eyes they're small in size
But they see enormous things
Wearing black canvas slippers
In our frogonalilypad pose
We sewed buttons and zippers
To chinese pink silk
And olive night clothes
If you can someday stop by
Somehow we'll show you the pictures
And fix you some tea
See my dad's getting a bit older now
And just unimaginably lonely
Oh pretenders let's go down
Lets go down won't you come on down
Oh pretenders
Lets go down
Down to the river and pray
Oh but I'm so afraid and I'm set in my ways
But he'll make the rabbits and rocks sing his praise
But I'm to tired I won't last long
No he'll use the weak to overcome the strong
Oh Amanda let's go down
Lets go down won't you come on down
Mama Nana lets go down
Down in the dirt by the river to pray
You struck the match
Why not be utterly changed by fire
To sacrifice the shadow and the mist
Of a brief life you never much liked
So if you'd care to come along
We're gonna curb all our neverending
Clever complaining
As who's ever heard of a singer criticized by his song
We hunger but though all
That we eat brings us little relief
We don't know quite what else to do
We have all our beliefs but we don't want our beliefs
God of peace we want you
