The Prophet

<p>Reluctant ride in the middle<br/>Of the belly of a whale<br/>A wheel on fire in the middle of the sky<br/>Abandoned baby kicking<br/>On the side of the road<br/>And a wife has died<br/>But you&#x27;re denied the right to cry<br/><br/>Three men walk out protected<br/>From a furnace of flame<br/>One man cries out from a miry well<br/>See a man in the myrtles<br/>And women with the wind in their wings<br/>Understand what these seared lips can tell<br/><br/>I am the prophet<br/>And I smolder and burn<br/>I scream and cry and wonder why<br/>You never seemed to learn<br/>To hear with your own ears<br/>With your own eyes to see<br/>I am the prophet<br/>Won&#x27;t you listen to me?<br/>I am the prophet<br/>Won&#x27;t you listen to me?<br/>I hold out hope to everyone<br/>Who hears and understands<br/>The Word of God can echo<br/>In the voice of a man<br/>He&#x27;s the shadow of a great rock<br/>In the dry and weary land<br/>With the names of the ones He loved<br/>Carved into His hands<br/><br/>I am the prophet<br/>And I smolder and burn<br/>I scream and cry and wonder why<br/>You never seemed to learn<br/>To hear with your own ears<br/>With your own eyes to see<br/>I am the prophet<br/>Won&#x27;t you listen to me?<br/>I am the prophet<br/>Won&#x27;t you listen to me?<br/><br/>The sorrow in His anger<br/>My eyes weep His tears<br/>His life alight in me<br/>I am the sword<br/>That cuts His people apart<br/>I speak the Word<br/>That comforts their faithless hearts<br/>I am the prophet<br/>And I smolder and burn<br/>I scream and cry and wonder why<br/>You never seemed to learn<br/>To hear with your own ears<br/>With your own eyes to see<br/>I am the prophet<br/>Won&#x27;t you listen<br/>Won&#x27;t you listen to me?<br/><br/>I am the prophet<br/>I smolder and burn<br/>I scream and cry and wonder why<br/>You never seemed to learn<br/>To hear with your own ears<br/>With your own eyes to see<br/>I am the prophet<br/>Won&#x27;t you listen to me?<br/>I am the prophet<br/>Won&#x27;t you listen to me?<br/>I am the prophet
