Lyrics
I followed it half way around the world
I pursued it halfway across the globe
It's obnoxious and absurd
It is irritating and nonsensical
I dedicate myself too late
I commit myself belatedly
To all the people who have heard
To all those who have listened
The sound of the living gospel
The sound of a genuine message of life
The promise of the living word
The commitment of a truthful message
That a fool like me can refuse to believe
That someone foolish like me can reject belief
And to get what I deserve
And face the consequences I merit
Take it on!
An exclamation urging action
Arms and elbows
Limbs and joints
Made to hold close
Designed for close embraces
Legs that follow
Lower limbs that follow
Head that's hollow
A mind that lacks substance
All that you know
All you understand
Is love must grow
Is that love needs to develop
Or you will lose
Or else you will suffer loss
The hardest lesson that you learn
The most difficult lesson one learns
Elimination of concern
Removal of worry or care
I realize the compromise
I understand that the settlement
Is the flicker not the burn
Is the brief flicker, not the lasting burn
It's easy living life on the outside
Living comfortably externally
To never have to wait for your turn
To never wait for your chance
But a fool like me can refuse to believe
Yet, a foolish person like me can reject belief
And still get what I deserve
And still face the consequences I deserve
