Some days are filled with riot Some days are full of rancor Some days full of hard hard work And some of battles wild Other days just like nights And sleepy sleepy echoes When all the day long nothing comes And …Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, ugh… And God’s own Son they called him Christ A busy busy bee Would turn the temple tables And thousands he would feed But the night with ebon pinyon He brooded or the vale He sought the lone embrace An absent father fails. But even other lighter days He’d sit and walk with friends Or alone for thirty years Just trying to blend in. I wonder if Christ’s depression Was anything like mine I wonder if he tossed and turned And finally his night resigned? Or if there were days no living face Could rouse him from his bed Even in the early Before the thorns up on his head Oh hell, I don’t know It’s just a thought of mine Oh, holy Christ I just don’t know Where all my hope has gone And the blankest days And the empty nights And the times of muddled mind [I had a thought now gone]
