Watcher of Men (Dublin Sessions)
Why did I not die at birth? Expire as I came from the womb? Why were there knees to receive me Or breasts to feed me?
Why was I not like babies Who never saw the light? Who lie with kings and counselors Who rebuild ruins for themselves
And where rest Those whose strength is spent Where small and great are alike And the slave is free of his master
Oh, Watcher of men, are Your eyes like flesh? Is Your vision like man? Are Your years the years of man? You know that I'm not guilty And that none can deliver from Your hand Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Also You know that You have deeply wronged me, oh And You have hedged me in You made it so nobody knows me And I'm an outsider to them
When I accused You, You wouldn't speak I said, ‽You tore up my hope like a tree†But I spoke without understanding Of things beyond me which I did not know
But then I heard You with my ears And I saw You with my eyes Therefore I recant and relent Being but dust and ashes Being but dust and ashes
