about

A great human masterpiece. An expression of life around the mid 20th century. A great love is felt. Eternity can be searched, but God can still not be found, until one realizes that he is already here and he is all around you.

lyrics

I went to ask the preacher man
about the universal hand
and did God really rule the land
footprints in the sand

The preacher man just looked at me
said it was he who was holy
closer to God by far than me
pray eternally

"Go to the poorbox, there it is
now you must put your dollar in
if you love God then you must be
willing to give him your money"

I knew not then just what to think
the preacher had me on the brink
the sunlight streaming through the window
looked like a halo


Merciful cloud moved into place
the light went from the preacher's face
facade appropriately darkened
I knew I must harken

To all the voices in my head
filling my heart with anxious dread
I could not heed the preacher's message
God did not send it

Set my eyes straight and turned to go
walked past the preacher, out the door
the dollar burning in my pocket
fighting off tears, I kept a-walking

I came upon a shady grove
laid down my bones, looked up above
the sunlight streaming through the pine boughs
looked like a halo
