"CASTING PEARLS"

Verse:
I climbed a mountain by the sea
while I was lost in Galilee.
I saw the sun and lost my sight.
I feared the King, so I took flight.

Verse:
 I’ve fed the dogs the holy bread 
and searched for love among the dead. 
I’ve shared my finest with the swine, 
to spare the heart of all mankind.

Chorus:
I’m casting pearls; I’m throwing dice- 
collecting dreams of men and mice. 
I’m just a Robin Hood of sorts; 
I ride upon a stolen horse.
I lost my place among the scribes. 
When I refused to take the bribe. 
And now the meek wait for the world, 
while I continue casting pearls.

Verse:
I still recite the Golden Rule, 
but you should fear the feckless fool. 
He knows the words but not the tune- 
is simply howling at the moon.

Verse:
As Jonathan and David knew, 
the pure in heart are blessed few. 
And there's a chance we can see God 
if we can deconstruct the fraud.

Bridge:
It seems my salted earth is gone. 
I sell myself in Babylon. 
But still the Kingdom chases me- 
this lost and wayward Pharisee.

(Repeat Chorus)
