(I think this is one of the best songs of them all. It certainly hits closer to where I live than most of the others)
LYRICS=
He came down from The Sun
into the heart of everyone
The light of true existence
that The Hive Mind had forgot
He made a reappearance
against some stiff resistance
And had to cool it down
until the arsonists left town.
He came down through The Sun
when a cloud was on the land
People loved their self-abuse
and worked it hard with either hand
They didn’t get the point
They didn’t even care
Those who tried to tell them
weren’t getting anywhere
So... he came down from The Sun
To heal the pain in everyone,
and put an end to strife,
and to anger, and to fear,
and to tell the demon hungers
to just get on outta here
but, in case you didn’t know
they didn’t want to go
It was just another day
like every other day
People went from here to there
while never getting anywhere
They bought some crap and sold some crap
They came, and then they went
They did it with no real intent,
cause no one could remember anyway.
He came down through The Sun
and washed The World with light
Some people tried to copy him,
but no one got it right
Not like the time before
when apostles were around
It didn’t sound the same,
and the sheep had all left town.
He came down from The Sun
And he went back like he came
Not many paid attention
and he didn’t give a name
He didn’t fix The World.
It just kept keeping on,
with that other stuff I mentioned.
He was here. Then he was gone.
We think we make a difference
with our hungers and our hate
but we just confuse the issue,
and we always come too late.
It seems like I was here before
I can’t remember when,
and if I was, I only hope
I was more useful then.
In the end, it broke his heart,
but now it holds more love.
No sense writing any checks
that don’t get cashed above.
It’s all deep in that feeling
that somehow makes it out.
When you have to work much harder
to overcome the doubt
Yeah... he came down from The Sun,
and for a time, all was well
until the people fixing things
made up a brand new Hell
The road of best intentions
winds up in the trackless sands.
Do your best, and try
to be careful where it lands.
He came down from The Sun,
and he rocked The World with light,
and you will keep returning here
until you get it right.
Yes... you will keep returning here
until you get it right.
