Are You Looking for Jesus in The Sky?
© 2001 Jesse Slokum
Are You looking for Jesus,
Looking for Jesus, for Jesus in the SKY?
Are You looking for Jesus,
Looking for Jesus, for Jesus in the SKY?
Out where only angels sing, only angels SING,
I too am waiting for Godot,
And all this no-show is enough to make me cry.
Tell me, have you lost the will to cope, yet?
Won't you please tell me,
Have you lost the will to cope yet?
Have you gotten to the place, have you gotten to the place,
Where you are looking for exemption
Have given up all your Hope, yet?
Are there some out there looking for redemption,
Now, from all of these air-conditioned nightmares
Are You looking for Jesus...
You know the Past was cast overboard,
Let me repeat it - The past was cast overboard,
With conscience and memory - do you hear me sing?
This is a luxury liner, ain't it?
But then, truth was something we can't hoard
It's them or me, this is the lap of luxury, ain't it?
Or is it just a holographic nightmare
When even Jesus in the sky
Is still just projection of a world gone bad
Where even Jesus in the sky
Is looking for protection
From a world gone mad
So tell me
Are You looking for Jesus...
Tell me, how do you like your future
Won't you please tell me
How do you like your future
Is this the Brave New World, I've got to know
If this is the Brave New World,
You thought it would be,
Tell me, do you still doubt? Are you sure?
Was there a Brave New World where we all should be,
Or, is it just an air-conditioned night-mare?
Are You looking for Jesus...
Tell me, don't you wish there is a place,
Who could deny it
Don't you wish there is a place
Where we sit around a table
With no king or ROOK
To make true peace with each one of ourselves?
So help me, won't you please look at the FACE
Which says, "None who look at me
Are able to live," and learn to delve
Into the mystery of how all this fright scares
Even the REAL Jesus into providing protection
From a world gone mad
Where even the REAL Jesus in the Sky
Comes into our heart as the Love that makes us glad
Do you hear me?
LORD, LORD, LORD?
Come into our heart as the love
That makes us GLAD!
LORD, LORD, LORD?
AS the LOVE that makes us GLAD!!!
