Lost Religion

by FireFly - Libra

Sometimes there in the darkness-
I don’t feel Jesus-
I know his hands-
His heart I’ve felt-

Goodness and love-
Trickles to the core of me-
Driving this route-
His hope cuts thru this land-
Like this highway-
It brings me down-
When I don’t hear him call-

Its because I’m on sabbatical-
Searching for him thru alcohol-
Feeling his cloth-
As I’m swoon into style-

Nothing comforts me-
Along this cotton land-
Once picked for the soldiers uniform-
In this Southern Land-

Is hope rising above the horizon-
Looking for me-
The signs asking me to pretend-
When I know I can’t-
Find the kingdom-

Yeah, I think the brothers keeper-
Left town long, long, time ago-
What I’m sure he learned-
Was that everyone is not perfect-
Only human beings-
