Otherwise - Everybody Wants to Make a Prophet Lyrics

Without your consent now you're alone again
You try to call one of your childhood friends
No one answers and no one cares
And then you start believing that somehow you're missing somewhere
This holy stone in my hand
Please sir I beg that I am
Won't you take it unto me?
For I don't deserve to be someone that I had never foreseen
So why should I say
What you mother'd say
I found discipline on my own
I might have known
What your father'd sewn
Crying out he said, "I'll believe in my own name!"
And then a prophet sat down next to my side
And said "I know the truth and would you like to know?"
The prophet he was so good he said, "Come with me son and I'll show you"
I just had to go I had to see what
He'd show me, he'd tell me and why he'd come to me
He said, "Now first things first, that stone you hold in your hand
Throw it away"
He said, "You'll only need to carry your soul
The rest is baggage, and you won't need to know
What you don't already know"
He said, "Dream like a child and you'll get by"
And when the prophet saw a tear in my eyes
He said nothing at all he just turned a staring eye
The prophet he was so wise he said
"I only see love so that my words are justified"
