FULL LYRICS BELOW
I quit trying again last Tuesday.... That's the fourth time in as many weeks.
These long hot days sure got me bluesy, still haven't found for what it is I seek.
CHORUS:
But I'm searching hard for the peace within us all, feeling like a reluctant Jesus.
And every time I turn I hit my head against the wall,
wondering why there's never enough to please us.
Well I see Judas in the corner, he's looking at me and he's got this... weird look in his eye.
Pontious Pilot is asking for a choice, somehow it doesn't seem like today's my day to die,
But you know they can never kill my voice.
So I'll speak loud, I will use the thunder, to tell them all that I was the one,
I'll tell them all about their blunder then I will forgive them for they've done.
All my disciples are denying my existence.
WHERE'S MY BLESSED PETER NOW?
I hear a rooster crow three times, far off in the distance,
And think... he's not supposed to save me anyhow.
I look up to the heavens, as I feel I've been forsaken,
This sacrifice I make for all mankind,
My only hope is that their sleeping souls awaken
But I fear that our culture keeps them blind.
All original lyrics. Looking to connect with musicians who would like to turn my words into beautiful music. If you like my writing style and you have the skills to put some music/animation or video slideshows behind my words, let me know. Let's work together to create some great art and build an audience together.
I was trying to capture what Jesus must have been feeling when he was being judged by Pontious Pilot? Did I capture the mood correctly? Do you think it would make a good song if the right singer were to sing it and find the right tune for it? Are you that singer? Cover this song for me and I will get your video over 1000 views a week guaranteed through my growing network. JJ3
