Imagine This
Imagine this
One young boy of uncertain age
Lookin’ down at his hymn-book page
Findin’ about half the words are missin’
Cancelled out, erased a
Blank white void is in their place
He puts the hymn-book down
Imagine this
(Chorus I)
Imagine this
He puts the hymn-book down
Imagine this
Behind a door behind a face
Unruly shame has found it’s place
Locked down too tight for escaping
He runs in ever tighter paces
’Round a padlocked room he races
With bleeding and unwounded places
Imagine this
(Chorus I)
(Chorus II)
Imagine this
Jack fell down and he broke his crown
Imagine this
It fell to the ground with a deafening sound
Imagine this
God shook with rage as he struck[cut/wiped] that boy down
(Chorus II)
Imagine this:
A certain boy recalls a flame
Which seared his hands and spat out his name
Long before the words were ever rages
Half the words are gone, erased
Left unsung, they’ve gone to waste
And they have not been replaced in ages
Imagine This
