Reuben
(Urban Weber)
People kill their brothers
you shout: don't shed any blood
they will not listen
where do you take your power from
Madcap gestures in the dizzy night
you speak wondering,
wonderful words of love
Are you not afraid of being hurt
they kick him out
you cry for your brother
when there's injustice
people don’t seem to care
Madcap gestures in the dizzy night
you speak wondering,
wonderful words of love
Are you not afraid of being hurt
You are an eagle,
flying,
seeing,
crying, you’re a fish
in the sea of love,
you are easily
thought of as below,
but in fact, you are above.
And then one morning
Reuben's waking by my side
Life's more than living
now I know what love is like:
Madcap gestures in the dizzy night.
you spoke wondering,
wonderful
words of love
You are not airaid of being hurt
You are an eagle,
flying,
seeing,
crying, you’re a fish
in the sea of love,
you are easily
thought of as below,
but in fact, you are above.
