"have you obeyed

the commandments?"

And the guy's like,

"yeah, I have."

But Jesus told him

that he had

something missing,

so he asked him

to give up everything,

sacrifice everything,

and follow him.

But the guy

couldn't do it.

And it says that

the rich, young guy

walked away sad,

because

he had too much

to lose.

This guy believed in Jesus

right up to the point

that it was gonna cost him

something, and then he just bailed,

which makes me wonder

if he ever really,

really believed

in the first place.

Sometimes a decision

comes your way,

and it's...

It's a hard decision.

But it shows you

in that moment

what you really believe.

I, uh...

Morning prayer

took the girl unawares

she was late for class

and she knew it

the broadcaster had a voice

that was soothing

she couldn't tell

if it was a man or woman

and a patch of sun fell

onto her desk

she put her head

on her arms, on her neck

the lesson today was

the acts of apostles

the crazy hippies,

they're running scared

she shut her eyes

and imagined the desert

no cars, no mobiles,

just sun and bread

what would she look like

standing by the well?

More like a woman

and less like a girl

oh

if I could make sense

of it all

I wished that

I could sing

I'd stay in a melody

I would float along

in my everlasting song

what would I do

to believe?

later on she plays

"morning has broken"

she knows she's bad

she is slowing

everybody down

the choirmaster,

usually a bastard

knows her mother's sick

he'll be nice to her

she thinks that she

shouldn't be there at all

her worries make everything

else seem trivial

oh

if I could make sense

of it all

I wished that

I could sing

I'd stay in a melody

I would float along

in my everlasting song

what would I do

to believe?
