Thank you for me
From the songbook At the end of the soul, turn right
I’ve been alone
In the middle of gatherings.
I’ve been poor
Surrounded by belongings.
I’ve been far
not knowing where I’m going.
I’ve been ajar
A door not properly closing.
Chorus: I’m not famous
And I may never be
But thank you, my Lord
Thank you for me.
Chained to the silence
Of a wall of pain
I’d be been a bud of innocence
Scorched by the will of men.
I took my decisions
Guided by the instance
Of clearing away derisions
That never left me a chance.
Chorus: I’m not famous
And I may never be
But thank you, my Lord
Thank you for me.
Been two and three and four and twelve
For the last three decades
In and out in the cycle
Of my healing crusades.
Weighted by the knowledge
Of an ever-sharpened edge
I tore my skin apart
With the blade of ever-rage.
Chorus: I’m not famous
And I may never be
But thank you, my Lord
Thank you for me.
I confronted the demons
That howled at my window
And faced countless minions
That I myself let grow.
I fought and fought again
Like no army ever will
To conquer the inner boogiemen
Which threw me down the hill.
Chorus: I’m not famous
And I may never be
But thank you, my Lord
Thank you for me.
My mind was a fortress
Guarded by a werewolf pack
I had to clear its buttresses
My defenses I attacked.
On and on I fought myself
My most dangerous enemy
Until I faced the Devil Herself
That had controlled my destiny.
Chorus: I’m not famous
And I may never be
But thank you, my Lord
Thank you for me.
My battle was mighty
And my treasures were few
A mirror, a cracked penny
Nothing to sell and nothing new.
But a few words of poetry
Under a sky of blue
A new sense of being me
A few good friends in my crew.
Chorus: I’m not famous
And I may never be
But thank you, my Lord
Thank you for me.
We shall sail the Sea of Spirit
In our ship of care.
We shall conquer wave and pirate
With our hearts of dare.
We have the beacon of our courage
We have the mast of prayer.
We have the keel of intelligence
Together we’ll fly the air.
Chorus: We’re not famous
And we may never be
But thank you, my Lord
Thank you, that they’re with me.
