DAR WILLIAMS
Step through this trampled wall The unhinged door betrays it all That far within our faith we were all waiting The broken glass reflects the haze It shines like endless holy days Struggling to remember what they're celebrating Well, a God descended And the reason ended His life was lifted just above the law And now we have to live with what we did With what we saw Well, you mend your clothes and patch your roof And slivers of God's shattered truth Grow tender as the grass in clean-swept yards But a savior came and told us how The truth was all around us now Abandon house and field and gather up the shards Well, a God descended And the reason ended His life was lifted just above the law And now we have to live with what we did With what we saw Well, you build your faith with strength and duty Build your love but there's a beauty Well you know the scriptures tell There are a few shards left in hell And if we want a god we had to follow, follow him down Pictures torn out of their frames And orgies where we lost our names All were gone with time's real desire Well, you ask how God can curse you thus That's not a question asked by us We burned our beds and books We fear we've lost the fire The God descended And the reason ended His life was lifted just above the law And now we have to live with what we did With what we saw . . .
