Galilee

So, there I was one day -- completely surrounded by the screaming and shouting of dreams I had sacrificed along the way to get to where I was back then, to be a well respected man. When I heard a guy on TV say, If youre drowning in doubt and cant find your way out put a call in to Second Chance ministries... Because, down here we understand, were based out of the Holy Land....

Seemed like a plan to me, so I dialed up the hotline and after a long time of punching in my profile on the touch tone keys, a womans voice chimed in and asked, How can we help you, friend? I said, Im looking for a little clarity. She said, Salvations not far, all you needs a credit card and we can get the process started up immediately. Well put you on a payment plan to rent space in the Holy Land.

Because nothing's free round here these days,
even Galilee, it seems, gets paid
and inner peace has a going rate
even Galilee
even Galilee
even Galilee gets paid.

So, I slammed the phone down angrily, because I dont think some damn Televangelist can arbitrarily ban me from eternity. So I thought Id go straight to the man - the 'landlord' of the Holy Land. I didn't say anything that eloquent, just that I dont make much pay, Lord, but I wont bug the neighbors or ever be late on the monthly rent. So can I put my application in to get on the wait list for the Holy Land?

Then a low voice rolled like rivers, made my whole body just shiver when it spoke.
And the words that it delivered severed every single burden in my soul.

It told me, Nothings free down here these days,
especially if its man-made.
But inner peace isnt far away,
even Galilee is within your reach,
even Galilee is absolutely free,
because Galilee is a simple gift from me and it cannot be repaid.
