Lyrics
Face to face with you my law I hope to all day reach that call
Expressing a desire to confront one's own moral code and aspire to a higher calling throughout the day.
You forgave my every fall I never knew what you were about
Acknowledging forgiveness for past mistakes but realizing a lack of understanding about the person's true nature.
Face to face with truth your word why did I listen to wrongs I heard
Confronting the truth and questioning why wrong advice was heeded in the past.
Self help methods schemed by jesters
Critiquing self-help methods devised by jesters or unreliable sources.
Getting advice from the earth's master
Seeking guidance from a knowledgeable source, metaphorically referred to as the earth's master.
One drop a word to the wise
Emphasizing the importance of wise counsel and the impact of a single piece of advice.
Out of this realm leave the stones behind
Encouraging the listener to transcend worldly concerns and obstacles.
Out of this realm leave the stones behind
-Go forward with the seed of a planter
Encouraging progress with a metaphorical reference to planting seeds and building with mortar and bricks.
With mortar and bricks of a builder
-One drop a word to the wise
Reiterating the significance of wise counsel and the transformative power of a single piece of advice.
Out of this realm leave the stones behind
Reiterating the theme of leaving hindrances behind and moving beyond earthly constraints.
Face to face with you my law I hope to all day reach that calm
Expressing a desire to be close to a moral code, finding calmness, and focusing on a steadfast foundation.
As I set my heart upon your rock I put my eye on the golden orb
-As I weep for those unlearned the ones too stiff for necks to turn
Expressing empathy for those resistant to change or learning.
Self help methods schemed by jesters
Repeating the criticism of ineffective self-help methods devised by unreliable sources.
Getting advice from the earth's master
Continuing to seek guidance from a wise and knowledgeable source.
One drop a word to the wise
Reiterating the importance of a drop of wisdom and its transformative impact.
Out of this realm leave the stones behind
Emphasizing the idea of transcending limitations and leaving obstacles behind.
Out of this realm leave the stones behind
-Go forward with the seed of a planter
Encouraging progress and construction, using the metaphor of planting seeds and building with mortar and bricks.
With mortar and bricks of a builder
