lirik lagu the healing tree – terry scott taylor
[intro]
every wound is open
every new organ’s been rejected
every bone is broken
every last thing has been infected
we’ll borrow the eyes of god
[verse 1]
behold, the number’s down on new recruits
confused by the infinite as inst-tute
and gossamer dressed in a tie and suit
the machine of the world grinds on and on
systematic elysian
the city on a hill’s an american
brick and mortar kingdom come
we’ll borrow the eyes of god
[verse 2]
behold, the shop where dirt-cheap grace is sold
mysteries solved and cases easily closed
behind the tenements and the barrios
the broken streets paved with drugs and guns
the blood of the guilty and the innocent ones
the old drunk’s gibberish and the widow’s crumbs
stand the dreaming domes of new jerusalem
[chorus 1]
come with me
we’ll borrow the eyes of god
come and see
the healing tree
[verse 3]
hallelujah, see behind the walls
the lamb in the center of our shopping malls
our fast-food temples, and our city halls
then observe these desecrated works of art
tracked by algorithms, files, grafts, and charts
and cameras poised above their shopping carts
filled with yesterday’s news and replacement parts
we’ll borrow the eyes of god
[verse 4]
angels exhaling a holy breeze
(every wound is open)
rustling the leaves that crown the healing tree
(every bone is broken)
its sacred pages are medicinal sheets
for paralyzed hands and gangrenous feet
the word made flesh, an administration
of the salve of mercy’s medication
behold, a healing for the nations!
[chorus 1]
come with me
we’ll borrow the eyes of god
come with me
to the healing tree
[chorus 2]
once blind, we will see
we’ve borrowed the eyes of god
we’ll fall down on our knees
beneath the healing tree
[outro]
(the healing tree)
