The Learned Man - Deliverance

Learned man, paint the picture of life

Did you see it full of pain

Did you see it full of strife

Did you see the horrors of it all?

Or did you indulge yourself to ignore your call

Would you?

Quiet now, a recluse who questions being

Why and where do we belong

What aren’t my eyes seeing?

Split the hair in 2, such a meaningless task

To throw away yourself without a word to ask

Landing here through this revolving sphere

Torn away from…

Eyes are wide, thin disguise

A fraction of the sum…

You are the learned man…

Quiet now, reflections seem so clear

Mine are the eyes that watch from afar

Seeing is believing, I might beg to differ

To master the deception

And sink further into the river

Life is yours, your quest was always here

To catch a glimpse of the Saviour

Through this multi-coloured smear

Wipe away the tears…

You are the learned man… you are…
