Weightless Saint

from Mistakes Have Been Made by John Ludi

lyrics

Weightless Saint

He's falling up, come hold him down.
Why must we keep him around?

Is it his belief or his piety,
or is it something else entirely?

Unclever soul, a dullard's eyes.
Is he a witch...a thing of lies?

Sacred mystery or hyperbole?
With his vacant stare what does he see?

He foams, he shouts...stumbles about.
He can't be trained, he's barely sane.

Oh, but he can see and know eternity,
God bestows those gifts unevenly.
A false history? Religious sophistry?
Or a rough-hewn mind setting a soul free?

Only a glimpse of farther shores and deeper tides.
Only a hint of hidden meanings.
Just out of reach of solid certainty:
a dream where promise wakes up empty.
