Feet of Clay

The Innocent Bystander:



I dont believe in everything I see,

Everything is perfect.



A life you made for all of us

Bearable from this day onwards.





The Staunch Believer:



I believe in everything that you do,

I will kiss your feet of clay

Every night, every day



Without you I am nothing,

Without a shadow



Without you I am nothing,

A distasteful replica



I will never let you down.

At your feet I lie

At your feet I die





The Innocent Bystander:



I try to believe in everything that you do,

To make sense of logic and thought



This idol worship deceives the rest

Betrayed by their eyes,

Not by mine





The Maker:



I am not as good as you think

To you I am everything

To me a child I see

A child in need

A child I will raise

A child, a disgrace



I am not as good as you think

To me you are nothing

To me a deed I do

To you and all

A world to heal

On my high heels





The Innocent Bystander:



I should believe in these feet of clay

It has shown us the right of way

From today we shall pray

To these feet of clay.
