Prompt: Any, Any, "Have you ever seen a picture of Jesus laughing. Wouldn't you think he'd have a beautiful smile." (Kate Bush)
the cup does not pass from him
he dies on the cross
he rests behind a stone
(he's screaming in Hell and the devil laughs)
he rises on the third day
and greets the sun
a brother to a brother
(welcome the bright star says welcome)
he tells the women and the men
some believe and some don't
as was meant to be
(always always my child your destiny)
the doubting one believes now
and blood is spilt
oceans and oceans of innocence and seas and seas of guilt
(in my name in my name in my name always in my name)
and he greets the sun
brothers and brothers and sisters and sisters
sons and daughters children of my father
(he knows all their histories and all their names)
and the story will end happily
when it ends
when the Son rises on the third day
(and they all hope to see his smile)
