Leper - The Collection

Wayward soul, did you see the way he looked at you?

did you see the crowd he

pushed through?

Aimless soul, did you wonder if he’d speak your name?

were you so surprised

when he touched your shame?

When we look at his hands filled with thorny crowns

but he’s raising the dead and he’s changing out nouns

with a son gone and died, with a leper’s curse

the blind come unblind and darkness’s reversed

Homeless soul, did you take off your shoes and hang up your coat?

don’t you know when he’s here we’re meant to roam!

ageless soul, did he speak of a fire that does not consume, but waters the soul

till we’re fully bloomed

When we look at his hands filled with thorny crowns

but he’s raising the dead and he’s changing out nouns

with a son gone and died, with a leper’s curse

the blind come unblind and darkness’s reversed
