The Cornerstone Lyrics

	I saw the desert wind
	Tear across the wilderness
	I felt it blowing off the page
	The teacher told me, "Son,
	Always remember this"
	And I have always been afraid
	I read about the God of Moses
	Roaring in the holy cloud
	It shook my bedroom window panes
	I did not understand then
	I do not understand now
	I don't expect you to explain
	You've been a mystery since the moment that I met you
	You never move but I can never seem to catch you
	The Cornerstone
	You said to eat your flesh
	Before you broke the bread and blessed it
	Before you poured the wine for every man
	This is a hard, hard teaching
	Can any man accept it?
	Can any sage here understand?
	You turned the tables over
	There in your father's temple
	You cracked a whip and raised a shout
	My daughter asked me why
	I said, "Love is never simple
	It draws 'em in and drives 'em out."
	I saw you there but it was too late to change my course
	And I collided with a beautiful immovable force
	And so the stone that I rejected
	It has become the Cornerstone
	All the maps were drawn
	But the maps were wrong
	The stars spin around
	Another sun
	All the maps were drawn
	But the maps were wrong
	The rivers are running from
	The Cornerstone
	And you looked me in the eye and fixed me with a permanent stare
	I met your gaze and saw the forges of the firmament there
	The Cornerstone
	And the floods come up
	And the rains come down…

	I saw the desert wind
	Tear across the wilderness
	I felt it blowing off the page
	The teacher told me, " Son,
	Always remember this"
	And I have always been afraid
	I read about the God of Moses
	Roaring in the holy cloud
	It shook my bedroom window panes
	I did not understand then
	I do not understand now
	I don' t expect you to explain
	You' ve been a mystery since the moment that I met you
	You never move but I can never seem to catch you
	The Cornerstone
	You said to eat your flesh
	Before you broke the bread and blessed it
	Before you poured the wine for every man
	This is a hard, hard teaching
	Can any man accept it?
	Can any sage here understand?
