I remember every unlearned sermon It's hard to imagine a child once wandered in these shoes Only to come home and look like someone you used to know Banging the drums to words I misread Captaining a ship that I don't want to steer Clearing the decks, naked in the ugliness in my wayward ways But on distant shores, I was humbled by all the faces Deep in the heart of places you may never know Will you ever know? I have to believe that there is something Common to all of us in all this suffering Humility means more to me Even if there's no door to tie our souls Don't tell me I'll never understand I have to believe I have to believe I have to believe I took an oath to remain entranced by the beauty I have to believe That there's more than waves crashing between us
