lyrics

[Verse 1]
I found myself looking on
Offers of hand rejected
Substance of friendship tested
Offers of help judged interference

[Verse 2]
I found myself brushed aside
Offers of kindness dismissed
Words of advice offensive
Offers of love misunderstood/blocked

[Chorus]
Makes me wonder clue maybe
To why you seem distant
Of suffering aloof indifferent
Divinity always see souls express

[Verse 3]
I found myself excluded
Offers of light extinguished
Personal view-point pooh-poohed
Offers of insight uninvited

[Instrumental]

[Repeat Chorus]

[Spoken Word]
I realised that it's not for me to oblige or coerce another ... just because I see suffering unnecessarily prolonged and perpetuated by choices made. After all, isn't divinity inherently expressed simply by the soul's choosing - regardless foolish or wise those choices may appear in context of my personal subjective sense of worthy? And then I started to wonder ... is insight into the way God sometimes seems to stand aloof to be had here? Like a supreme expression of detachment and renunciation, but not at all a manifestation of indifference. And what might God be feeling about my own choices today?
