Passover

Oh I'm too good for the world,
And I'm tryin' to think of yesterday now.

The pain comes cutting,
Stabbing,
Tearing me apart,
And I don't know how
To protect my heart.
I'm a lamb,
Yes I am,
Curling up in a ball,
Screaming, "Why can't we all
Get along?"

Here you come thumping,
Maiming,
Searing up my mind,
And I'm wondering how
You were born so blind.
This is me:
can't you see
I'm your friend and ally?
Why must you make me cry
Tears of blood?

In the garden where the children play,
I must give my life away.
"Father, let your will, not mine, be done."

INST. BRIDGE

I see wolves railing,
Nailing
My hands to a cross,
And I pray to God
That they won't be lost.
"Let them live.
Please forgive.
They don't know what they do."
And the message is true
From the heart.

If you are learning,
Yearning
To be with me,
Peace I give to you.
You will soon be free.
I'm the door,
And there's more:
I am lighting the way,
Hoping you all will stay
In my love.

In the garden where the children play,
I must give my life away.
"Father, let your will, not mine, be done."

I'm too good for the world,
And I'm focused on tomorrow right now.
