Oh, Lord

Oh, Lord (A parting prayer) Words and music by Mario Tosto (ASCAP) [Verse 1] Oh Lord I am so tired I traipsed your rugged narrow straits Knocked in vane on heaven's gates Oh Lord I am so tired I don't want to walk here anymore No I cannot walk here anymore [Verse 2] Oh Lord I am so hungry Your manna gives a junk food thrill That masks the pang but does not fill Oh Lord I am so hungry I don't want to sup here anymore I just can't feed here anymore [Chorus] And so this testament in song Is to confess that I was wrong I did a shameless dance in the haze above a hole Where firm reality should be I vamped on veiled vacuity It's not your fault. I was the one who chose the role [Verse 3] Oh Lord I cannot hear you All your sirens have been drowned I cannot sing that soothing sound Oh Lord I cannot hear you I can't sing your song anymore No no I can't sing that song anymore [Chorus] And to my guides and teachers I don't blame you Even though you taught me how to do That shaman dance in the haze above a hole Where firm reality should be I vamped on veiled vacuity It's not your fault. I was the one who chose the role [Verse 4] Oh Lord, I cannot feel you Imagination's magic touch Has fallen with its broken crutch Oh Lord, I cannot feel you I just can't believe anymore No no, I do not believe anymore [Barely audible] Can't believe Can't believe Oh, Lord.
