"Interlude" text

"Interlude"

Samuel woke up from his sleep one night
By a vision from God
And he felt an urge to share his vision
With the rest of the world
And as many men before him
He was convinced that the truth
Should be spread around the world by him
So he said goodbye to his family
And his home in the forest
For one in the city

His sister was worried for the disappointments he might face
And that he would grow sharp edges on his heart
And cause more scatteredness than peace around him
But she did love him
And to soften his heart she wrote him a letter, saying:
Oh my tangerine
Don't compare the worst in them with the best in you
Only love can change us, brother Samuel

The city is crowded and full of distractions
The people look proud but they cry for affection
The city is crowded and full of distractions
The people look proud but they cry for affection
