lyrics

I saw Jesus at the roadside
He was headed for the station
He’d cancelled his appointment
With the United Nations

Beneath the water’s surface
I saw chaos overflowing
And felt conflicting forces
Of knowing and unknowing

I saw Dylan and John Lennon
Sharing speculation
While a choir of black angels
Declared their jubilation

I saw innocence and pleasure
They were walking hand in hand
The past is just a dream
The future is unplanned

Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
Get your house in order
Have late payments made
Help your friends and family
To the shelter of the shade
Nothing is for certain
No plans that can be made
So get your house in order
And do not be afraid

I saw images in colour
The spirit of the age
I was very disappointed
Narcissus on parade

And down there by the seaside
The moon kissed by the ocean
A rocket ship aimed for your heart
Set off with explosion

I saw worlds that had been torn apart
Unite in celebration
And holy men and sinners
Lost in relaxation

And down there by the roadside
Scenes of lamentation
Jesus gone for good this time
His train just left the station

Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid
Get your house in order
Have late payments made
Help your friends and family
To the shelter of the shade
Nothing is for certain
No plans that can be made
So get your house in order
And do not be afraid
