Yesterday's boy is gone
Driving through darkness searching for
Your forgiveness
In sorrow a beautiful song
Lives in the heart and sings for all
Your forgiveness
Inside the digital mind
A homeless soul ponders the code
Of forgiveness
And I, the last in the line
Hoping the gates won't be closed
Before
your forgiveness
Dip your hand in heaven's waters
God's imagination
Dip your hand in heaven's waters
All of life's abundance in a
drop of condensation
Dip your hand in heaven's waters
I, I have my reasons to doubt
There is a case to be made
Two billion heartbeats and out
Waving the flag in the last parade
I have my reasons to doubt
Dip your hand in heaven's waters
God's imagination
Dip your hand in heaven's waters
All of life's abundance in a
drop of condensation
Dip your hand in heaven's waters
I, I have my reasons to doubt
A white light cases the pain
Two billion heartbeats and out
Or does it all begin again?
Dip your hand in heaven's waters
God's imagination
All of life's abundance
In a drop of condensation

Disco: Seven Psalms
Comentarios: Quizás, una de las canciones más conmovedoras de Seven Psalms —una súplica suave, íntima, que se balancea entre la duda existencial y una esperanza tímida, como si Paul Simon estuviera arrodillado, pero con una ceja levantada. En esta pieza, la espiritualidad, la tecnología, la muerte y el deseo de redención se entrelazan de una forma especialmente poética y vulnerable.
