Story Behind The Song

I wanted to write a metaphorical song about one man's recovery from his virtual crucifixion. Although it is clearly based on the Christ-like figure of Jesus he is not mentioned by name.

Song Description

This poetic song describes a Christlike figure who emerges from ill-treatment & pain through courage and humility

Lyrics

WONDER - FINAL DRAFT REVISED 05/06/2017 B SESSION 3 MIX 2

VERSE 1 0' 28"

YOUR EYES THEY GAZE ENRAPTURED BY THE WONDER OF MY WOUND
WHERE THEY LEFT ME TORN AND BLEEDING WITH MY BUCKET AND MY BROOM
HELP ME SWEEP AWAY THE DEMONS STILL CLINGING TO MY BONES
SWEEP THEM DOWN TO DARKNESS WHERE THE SHADOW'S TURN TO STONE

CHORUS

SEE NOT MY FLESH OH MOTHER JUST THE BLAZING LIGHT INSIDE.
I REMAIN A MAN OF FREEDOM FOR MY SPIRIT HAS SURVIVED.

VERSE 2 1' 35"

YOU CAN SEE THE STARS RIGHT THROUGH ME AS I COMMAND THEM TO COMPLY
DRIVEN BY ETERNITY ON THE ASHES OF MY PRIDE
ST PETER PLEASE ACCEPT MY SOUL LET YOUR GATE SWING OPEN WIDE
LEAVE THIS ACHING BODY TO THE HUNGER OF THE TIDE

CHORUS

VERSE 3 2' 43"

SOME CALL ME JESHUA SOME CALL ME JOHN
THOUGH MY NAME NO LONGER MATTERS NOW THE TWILIGHT IS BEGUN
I AM BUT A WITNESS TO THE ARTISANS OF LIGHT
WEAVING STREAMS OF BLUE AND GOLD LIKE LANTERNS IN THE NIGHT

CHORUS
