Messenger

At the break of dawn after centuries of night
A child is born a child of light
Into a world of shadows and pain
Injustice rules and darkness reigns
How unique the child His knowledge innate
No teacher could teach this child of fate
And there in a dream in an ocean disturbed
His long locks reached out and His message was heard
For a thousand years we invoke Your name
And when You appear You’re bound in chains
Oh why, why are we so afraid of change
And I won’t forget how unkind they were to You
I won’t forget how You suffered
I won’t forget your message of love
I won’t forget I won’t forget
You receive the word Your purpose is clear
To share with the world with those who would hear
You take their hands and You heal their pain
You comfort their hearts with nothing to gain
The plight of the world weighs down on Your back
You share Your message and they launch their attack
They cast You out and don’t recognize
Your book is wide open and there’s tears in Your eyes
