Are You Looking for Jesus in The Sky?© 2001 Jesse SlokumLooking 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!!! To Song Menu! |
