Four Word Letter Pt Two lyrics

I wrote a four word letter,

With post-script in crooked lines,

"Tho I`d lived I`d never been alive."

You know who I am - you held my hem

As I traveled blind

Listening to a whispering in my ear,

Soft but getting stronger,

Telling me the only purpose of my being here

Is to stay a bit longer.



Stealing a bicycle chain,

As the handlebars crashed to the ground,

The back wheel detached from the frame,

It kept rolling, yeah, but aimlessly drifting around.



Oh, doubters, let`s go down,

Lets go down - won`t you come on down?

Oh doubters, lets go down-

Down, to the river to pray?



"But I`m so small I can barely be seen - how can this great love be inside of me?"

Look at your eyes - they`re small in size, but they see enormous things.



Wearing black canvas slippers

In our frog-on-a-lily-pad pose

We sewed buttons and zippers

To chinese pink silk

And olive night clothes

If you can someday stop by

Somehow we`ll show you the pictures and fix you some tea

(see, my dad`s getting a bit older now and just unimaginably lonely).



Oh, pretenders, let`s go down

Lets go down- won`t you come on down?

Oh, pretenders

Lets go down-

Down to the river and pray?



"Oh but I`m so afraid, and I`m set in my ways"

But he`ll make the rabbits and rocks sing his praise.

"But I`m to tired, I won`t last long."

No, he`ll use the weak to overcome the strong!



Oh, Amanda, let`s go down

Lets go down- won`t you come on down?

Mama, Nana, lets go down, down in the dirt by the river to pray?



You struke the match - why not be utterly changed by fire?

To sacrifice the shadow and the mist

Of a brief life you never much liked - So if you`d care to come along we`re gonna curb all our never-ending,

clever complaining (as who`s ever heard of a singer criticized by his song?)

We hunger, but though all that we eat brings us little relief we don`t know quite what else to do,

We have all our beliefs but we don`t want our beliefs,

God of peace, we want you.
