Shasta's Complaint
Waves that beat upon the shore they brought no peace
Somewhere else I must belong,
Somewhere for me
Who was it that left me there
A boy scared and alone
No I don't think you heard me calling
Always thought he must not know
Surely he would never leave me
Wouldn't leave me here alone
You tell me now that I was never on my own
Well, Pardon me, I don't remember you at all
'Cause with my back against the tomb I called you out
But I don't think I heard you answer
I don't think I heard a sound
I don't recall you in my anger
I don't remember you around
But He answered, "Who are you to question me?
Do you command the mountains or calm the raging sea?
For I am the current, I was there to save your life
A man may find his eye deceiving
A fool holds on to trust his sight
A wise man knows that his own feeling may not with the truth align
And you think you have never seen my face
But every moment that you're alive, you know my grace
For only death in this cruel world is justly deserved
And you say that I don't answer
Just because you have not heard
But you don't know yet how to listen
Or to understand my voice
My love I cared for you
I was the comfort you felt in the House of the Dead
I drove from you the beast in the night
All of this I have done while you slept
All by my design,
Every chapter, every word, I've Written every line
All by my design,
Every chapter, every word, I've Written every line."
Somewhere else I must belong,
Somewhere for me
Who was it that left me there
A boy scared and alone
No I don't think you heard me calling
Always thought he must not know
Surely he would never leave me
Wouldn't leave me here alone
You tell me now that I was never on my own
Well, Pardon me, I don't remember you at all
'Cause with my back against the tomb I called you out
But I don't think I heard you answer
I don't think I heard a sound
I don't recall you in my anger
I don't remember you around
But He answered, "Who are you to question me?
Do you command the mountains or calm the raging sea?
For I am the current, I was there to save your life
A man may find his eye deceiving
A fool holds on to trust his sight
A wise man knows that his own feeling may not with the truth align
And you think you have never seen my face
But every moment that you're alive, you know my grace
For only death in this cruel world is justly deserved
And you say that I don't answer
Just because you have not heard
But you don't know yet how to listen
Or to understand my voice
My love I cared for you
I was the comfort you felt in the House of the Dead
I drove from you the beast in the night
All of this I have done while you slept
All by my design,
Every chapter, every word, I've Written every line
All by my design,
Every chapter, every word, I've Written every line."
