Mukduk - 4 8 Lyrics

Come walk with me, Asher
There's something I need to show you
Come walk with me Asher
There's something you need to see

Come walk with me, Asher
There's something I need to show you
To the forest Golgotha, today

Come walk with me, Asher
Just look at the trees around us
When I was a kid, you would take me here

But now I am older, and now I am wiser

"How's high school?" he asks me
"OK," I reply
And something snaps under my foot

A frail little creature
Fallen out of its nest
Its motionless body
But eyes are still blinking
I'm thinking that I can't go on

My life is a mess, but that tree still stands strong
How strange that it never came tumbling down, down
To the bottomless ocean
Floating gently and free
That's where I'd like to be

Oh, body green
As I in awesome wonder
Dissolve away
My muscles atrophy

Bone turns to ash
Mixing with frothing waters
Becoming mud
Becoming tree

Its roots are as deep as the pain in my heart
How great thou art
Then sings my soul - sweet vengeance I can see
So Glory

Come on, climb, Asher
The tree-line is thinning, we're nearing the top
My heart, it is racing
I'm afraid it'll stop

Mom always loved you better
I can tell from Dad's eyes that he didn't want me
They think I'm a loser
At last, something we can agree

Higher
It's just one more branch now
Jesus died for nothing if humans don't sin
Like Forrester, I jounced the limb
