Thoughts

By Eric Smith (2000)

Inspired by Isaiah 55

Figured out the plot, but there’s something I forgot

Thought I was OK, thought I could do it my own way

I looked at all I've got, at all the lies that I've bought

You told me everyday, “Listen to the words I say”

Your thoughts are not my thoughts

Your ways are not my ways

I see you scorned and mocked, and I see the fight you fought

I see the mess we've made, and I see the price you paid

When my plans have come to naught, I hear the things you've taught

When your with me everyday, try to hear the things you say

Your thoughts are not my thoughts

Your ways are not my ways

Make your thoughts my thoughts

Make your ways my ways

The rain falls down to the ground

It cleanses everything all around

Let your words rain down on me

Rain on my brain and make it clean
