Nobody has taught us any

Nothing else is happening,
Nothing else is happening lord,
Change my days,
Change my nights,
Change my ways,
Let me get on that level,
That level of consciousness,
So i can feel u,
All around me,
All day,
All night,
All day,
All night,
I really want to see u,
But it takes so long my lord,
Oh my lord,
(pianissimo to fortissimo in
spirituality for approximately
three minutes)
P r a y e r t i m e
I often sit and stare at the sea,
And dream dreams,
And hope hopes,
And wish wishes,
And lately as i listen to
the windsong,
As it dances a beautiful
dance for me,
But these moments never seem to
last too long,
Because after the hopes, the
dreams and the wishes,
After you and me,
After a stolen moment of
happines,
After a glimpse of the time less
natural universe,
Moving in effortless, effortless,
starling beauty,
Moving in effortless, effortless,
starling rythm,
Comes the reality of today,
Grinning his all-knowing
fiendish grin,
Knowing everything i say.
Know everything i feel,
Know everything i think,
Every gesture i make,
Today, today,
Pressing his ugly face
against mine,
Staring at me lifeless eyes,
Crumbling away all memories of
yesterday's dreams,
Crumbling away,
Crumbling hopes and destroying
wishes,
Destroying dreams,
Can't get close to nobody
no more,
No matter how much you try,
You can't get close to nobody
no more,
Because today is a killer,
And only you can save us lord,
Only you can save us lord,
I never dreamed,
I certainly never hoped,
That one day i'd be screaming,
For something my mother told me
i needed
In my beginning,
In my beginning,
In my beginning,
In my beginning,
Beginnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnning
Yes lord,
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
My lord,
My lord,
My lord,
My sweet lord,
I really want to see u,
I really want to see u,
I really want to see u,
But it takes so long my lord,
Oh my lord,
Oh my lord,
My sweet lord,
I really want to see u,
I've got to see you,
I really want to see u,
But it takes so long my lord,
Oh my lord,
Oh my lord,
My sweet lord,
Oh my lord,
Halleluja,
Halleluja,
Halleluja,
Only u,
It takes so long my lord,
Hope it doesn't take too long
this time,
Because i need to be with you,
I need to be with yoooooooou,
Today,
Today,
Today,
Today,
Tooooooooooooooooooday
Who are you lord ?
