Mother Green

lyrics

Dear Mother Green,
You fought the good fight,
Though all that you dreamed
Escaped in the night.
You swore you'd obey,
You prayed to receive his call.
His voice never came,
And yet you hold true;
You wondered if arrogance kept him from you;
You've ceased your petitions,
You worried your faith isn't great
Like the faith
Of the ones
Who he calls every day.
Or are they just lying because they're ashamed?
Is it more of a sin to mistrust them this way?
You don't change a thing,
You keep your routine,
The wounds of your self-flagellation unseen
And yet constellations of holy machines
Fill your dreams with the questions whose answers you can't stand to Seek--do you believe there will be a release?
