lirik lagu nichole nordeman - wide eyed
when i met him on a sidewalk
he was preaching to a mailbox
down on 16th avenue
and he told me he was jesus
sent from jupiter to free us
with a bottle of tequila and one shoe
he raged about repentance
he finished every sentence
with a promise that the end was close at hand
i didn’t even try to understand
he left me wide eyed in disbelief and disillusion
i was tongue tied, drawn by my conclusions
so i turned and walked away
and laughed at what he had to say
then casually dismissed him as a fraud
i forgot he was created in the image of my god
when i met her in a bookstore
she was browsing on the first floor
through a yoga magazine
and she told me in her past life
she was some plantation slave’s wife
she had to figure out what that might mean
she believes the healing powers of her crystals
can bring balance and new purpose to her life
sounds nice
she left me wide eyed in disbelief and disillusion
i was tongue tied, drawn by my conclusions
so i turned and walked away
and laughed at what she had to say
then casually dismissed her as a fraud
i forgot she was created in the image of my god
not so long ago, a man from galilee
fed thousands with his bread and his theology
and the truth he spoke, quickly became the joke of educated
self-inflated pharisees like me
and they were wide eyed in disbelief and disillusion
they were tongue tied, drawn by their conclusions
would i have turned and walked away
and laughed at what he had to say
and casually dismissed him as a fraud
unaware that i was staring at the image of my god
