Analysis of Messiah, can you hear me call

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



Before you I am written
And I lean harder on these old walls
I learn to love like you loved all
And as my thoughts ride your vibration
The hearts of man at your imagination
And your greater good deviding every nation
Leading us to your truth and divination
I ask in a song if you hear my call
When the nightmares seem close and the demons so tall
I want, I call. I want to feel.
The miracles that you let me believe
And the light of your sweet soul that be
More a miracle for my eyes to see
But I know as man it is not for me
That our paradise lies with the bird and the bee
In the tiny hand of a child on my knee
And in the sands laid down by God for me
To walk a little closer to infinity
