Текст (слова) песни: Nichole Nordeman - Wide Eyed

 
When I met him on a sidewalk, 
he was preaching to a mailbox 
down on Sixteenth Avenue. 
And he told me he was Jesus 
sent from Jupiter to free us 
with a bottle of tequila and one shoe. 
He raged about repentance 
and finished every sentence 
with a promise that the end was close at hand. 
I didn`t even try to understand. 
 
He left me wide eyed, 
in disbelief and disallusion. 
I was tongue-tied, drawn by my conclusions. 
And so I turned and walked away 
and laughed at what he had to say. 
And casually dismissed him as a fraud. 
I forgot he was created in the image of my God. 
 
When I met her in a bookstore 
she was browsing on the first floor 
through a yoga magazine. 
And she told me in her past life 
she was some plantation`s slave`s wife- 
she had to figure out what that might mean. 
She believes the healing powers of her crystals 
can bring balance and new purpose to her life. 
Sounds nice. 
 
She left me wide eyed, 
in disbelief and disallusion. 
I was tongue-tied, drawn by my conclusions. 
And so I turned and walked away 
and laughed at what she had to say. 
And casually dismissed her as a fraud. 
I forgot she was created in the image of my God. 
 
Not so long ago, a man from Galilee 
fed thousands with his bread and his theology. 
And the truth he spoke 
quickly became the joke 
of educated, self-inflated, pharisees like me. 
 
They were wide eyed 
in disbelief and disallusion. 
They were tongue-tied, drawn by their conclusions. 
Would have turned and walked away 
and laughed at what He had to say? 
And casually dismissed Him as a fraud. 
Unaware that I was staring at the image of my God.
