Wide Eyed Lyrics

Wide Eyed lyrics

When I met him on a sidewalk
He was preaching to a mailbox
Down on 16th
Avenue
And he told me he was Jesus
Sent from Jupiter to free us
With a
bottle of tequila and one shoe
He raged about repentance
He finished every
sentence
With a promise that the end was close at hand
I didn't even try
to understand
He left me wide eyed in disbelief and disillusion
I was
tongue tied, drawn by my conclusions
So I turned and walked away
And
laughed at what he had to say
Then casually dismissed him as a fraud
I
forgot he was created in the image of my God
When I met her in a
bookstore
She was browsing on the first floor
Through a yoga
magazine
And she told me in her past life
She was some plantation slave's
wife
She had to figure out what that might mean
She believes the healing
powers of her crystals
Can bring balance and new purpose to her
life
Sounds nice
She left me wide eyed in disbelief and disillusion
I
was tongue tied, drawn by my conclusions
So I turned and walked away
And
laughed at what she had to say
Then casually dismissed her as a fraud
I
forgot she was created in the image of my God
Not so long ago, a man from
Galilee
Fed thousands with His bread and His theology
And the truth He
spoke
Quickly became the joke
Of educated, self-inflated Pharisees like
me
And they were wide eyed in disbelief and disillusion
They were tongue
tied, drawn by their conclusions
Would I have turned and walked away
And
laughed at what He had to say
And casually dismissed Him as a
fraud
Unaware that I was staring at the image of my God
