God Draws Straight |
As I left my house\nAs I walked out today\nThought I walked out' my marriage\nThought I walked out on grace\nAs the dawn it was breaking\nAt the end of the street\nI didn’t know what would happen\nDidn’t know what I’d see\nI saw two transit buses\nBlock the road on our side\nSaw a couple of joggers\nWho chanced to run by\nSaw some soldiers come out\nAnd they mixed with the crowd\nTears came to my eyes\nWe’re just walking around\nWell there’s so many people\nEverybody is here\nI saw the girls from the office\nI saw those guys from the street\nYou might think you are lost\nBut then you will find\nThat god draws straight\nBut with crooked lines\nI saw a matron in white\nHer face lifted to heaven\nI saw nuns on their knees\nSome who were weeping\nSaw a middle-aged man\nAnd a government clerk\nAn Afro-mestizo\nHeld his rosary up\nI saw nobody leave\nI didn’t feel fear or terror\nIt felt like a movie\nLike the end of an era\nNobody got hurt\nAnd nobody died\nI’ll remember this day\nI’ll remember this time\nAnd there’s so many people\nEverybody is here\nI saw the girls from the office\nI saw those guys from the street\nYou might think you are lost\nBut then you will find\nThat god draws straight\nBut with crooked lines\nAs I turned on my walkman\nAnd all I could hear\nEvery station was Marcos\nHe’s on every TV\nAn appliance store window\nHe fills every screen\nThen the TVs went blank\nAnd his face disappeared\nThen the darkness it thickened\nThere was no time for choices\nHalf blind I ran\nI was guided by voices\nWhen the choppers took off\nLeaving Malacañang\nWe knew it was over\nKnew it was the end\nAnd there’s so many people\nEverybody is here\nI saw the girls from the office\nThe whole country, it seems\nYou might think you are lost\nBut then you will find\nThat god draws straight\nBut with crooked lines\nYeah god draws straight\nBut with crooked lines |
