Days are going one to another at breathtaking speed
See myself held by a cane before I can agree
If I'm really as old as I seem to be
What's wrong with me?

It was in a dream I had that I discovered what it means
to have walked through a sewer and unable to clean
'cause it means stripping down to nothing but skin
and showing you where I've been

And this season here reminds me
we are mostly water hanging 'round the sky
And no matter how we fall, white and slow or fast and clear
rest assured that the ground is near

Everybody means to be much clearer when talking through a cloud
never really sure what was thought and what was said aloud
all alone looking for you lost in my crowd
but look at what I found:

An endless sea of mercy
and a trace of grace that touched me to my bone
but with all the Jesus posers standing poised along the edge
to dive in first, that's when I go home.

Take another drink and hang my head and contemplate again
If I am in love with or hate the person that I am.
All humanity is in this stupid fucking man
so why can't he understand

That love, it runs like blood
It doesn't need approval to flow
and it's as strong as it is thick and it will keep us in the things
that we need to know.
