do you want to healing?

do you want healing?
do you want sight?
do you want grief?

tears
excrutiating pain
as though you were dying and numb
as though you were wounded and never knew
the stranger comes and heals you
excrutiating pain
tears

leprosy leaves
feeling returns
you remember ----

i am wounded

do you want healing?
do you want sight?
do you want grief?

your eyes open.
the light burns your eyes.
the darkness surprises you.

you now see violence.
you now see abuse.

excrutiating pain.
tears.

tears.
endless tears.

do you want healing?
do you want sight?
do you want grief?

and the kingdom comes.
and the light reveals.
and healing brings pain.
leprosy leaves

leaves you to feel the pain.

and in that pain -- there is hope
excrutiating.
tears.

tears.

tears.

tears.

and will there really be a day
a beautiful day
a far off day

will there really be a land
a beautiful land
a new earth

where tears will be no more?

in your pain
in the wake of leprous numbness
you feel the stranger's touch
he is not a stranger
she is your friend

in the pain
in the wake of new seen evil
your eyes meet the stranger's eyes
she is not a stranger
he is your lover
excrutiating joy

and will there really be a day
a beautiful day
a far off day

will there really be a land
a beautiful land
a new earth

where love and not loeposy will end
your
excrutiating pain

hope.

hope.

hope.

tears.

tears.

tears.

endless hope.
