I know why Jesus Wept
For I have seen such terrible sights
I know why his tears fell
for I know his untold sorrows
I have seen a thousand dreams die
Faded from the minds and memories of all
But those who weep from their passing
I have seen a thousand men die for those dreams
Death heaped upon death
Until no one remembers why
I have seen a thousand woman cry
Their husbands sacrificed by insane zealots
For a twisted version of one great phylosophy
For a thousand centuries I have seen it
Men distorting dreams of great men
Taking their words of wisdom
Turning them to words of hatred
A cause of genocidal wars
An exuse for animolistic violence
I know Why Jesus wept
he died for you
For your sins and for your ignorance
He tried to show his his dream
and you've turned it to a nightmare
His knew this day would come
He knew his fate and yours
The meek may inherit the earth
But the strong have abused them for so long
That they too are just as corrupt
I know the reason Jesus cried
because His dreams were not worth dreaming
His dream has faded to a nightmare
I know why Jesus wept
And so we watch
As you destroy yourselves
And us with you
The world falls around us
And we shall fall too
I know why Jesus wept
It is why I weep too. |
