Odyssey Revisited

Consider if you will, a queen on a hill
Who is pressured by a hundred suitors each day
To buy some more time she has fed them a line
Of a tapestry still underway

Penelope unravels, Odysseus travels
And the story turns on six implicit words

I will be waiting for you
I will be waiting for you

A man sets his dream by a transcendental being
Who will announce the Redeemer is here
But time moves along
And we might wonder what went wrong
Tell us Elijah
To be clear

What does he say?
The man who's held at bay
By the fact that we're refusing to repent
Till we relent

He'll say
I will be waiting for you
I will be waiting for you

And everybody has a part to play
And everybody has a job to do
And everybody has a script to follow

How about you?
How about you?

I will be waiting for you

Who put it in the mind
Of Homer and his kind
To write books in diminishing days
And who makes the choice
To give a character voice
Or to turn a particular phrase

Who spreads out the universe?
And sets up the direct inverse
That we have come to call the human mind
And Who is inclined
To say

I will be waiting for you
I will be waiting for you
I will be waiting for you
I will be waiting for you
