Through the Broken Telescope

TELESCOPE

My friend he’s found a telescope

For taking his pictures of home

Round this town nobody looks up from the ground

Somehow he’s going to turn her life around

Holding on to a promise that begins and ends before and after him

Taking notes from the lessons they didn’t learn

Living larger than the lives that you’ve been shown

So much wiser than the years that you’ve watched turn

My friend he’s found a comrade

Playing guitar in his music box

Coming in above the static they dance to

Listening for a voice that calls from home

And a dream that’s just around the block

CHORUS:

Living larger than the lives that you’ve been shown

So much wiser than the years you’ve watched turn

Running further than these chains will let you move

Earned a token for a cloud that leaves tonite

And a telescope to see your life unfold

-They gave him a broken pen and tattered paper

He turned it into moon and stars

Every clock that’s on these walls

Takes a hundred years to turn

Writing about more sailboats

And visions they can’t see

All sleeping drunken on the shores

While the ships are coming in

And setting out again

He’s hanging by the silver lining

Of a cloud that leaves tonite

CHORUS:

Living larger than the lives that you’ve been shown

So much wiser that the years you’ve watch burn

Running further than these chains will let you move

Earned a token for a cloud that leaves tonite

And a telescope to see your life unfold

Prayer for Those with Broken Telescopes

Father of Visions and Visionaries

We come to you asking for the return of our Visions

Because all of our Telescopes were broken in the Years

We come to you seeking the Origin of our Dreams 

Because they have left us for somewhere we have yet to have Gone

We come to you asking for Open Windows

Because ours have been dewed over with these Tears

We come to you for the delivery again of all you have gave Us

We had forgotten to hold them close and so they Disappeared

“Where there is no divine vision people cast off restraint,

but blessed is the one who keeps Torah.” Proverbs 29:18 TLV
