Four Word Letter (pt 2) - MeWithoutYou
I wrote a four word letter with post script in crooked lines
Though I'd lived I'd never been alive
You know who I am you held my hem
As I traveled blind
Listening to the whispering in my ear soft
But getting stronger
Telling me only purpose of my being here
Is to stay a bit longer
Stealing a bicycle chain
As the handlebars crashed to the ground
The back wheel detached from the frame
Kept rolling yeah
But aimlessly drifting around
Oh doubters let's go down
Let's go down won't you come on down
Oh doubters let's go down
Down to the river to pray
Oh 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 frog on a lily pad 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
Let's go down won't you come on down
Oh pretenders let's go down
Down to the river to pray
Oh but I'm so afraid
Or I'm set in my ways
But He'll make the rabbits
And rocks sing His praise
Oh but I'm too tired
I won't last long
No He'll use the weak to overcome the strong
Oh Amanda let's go down
Let's go down won't you come on down
Mama Nana let's go down
Down in the dirt by the river to pray
Hey hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
You strike 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 never ending 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
