The Courier Pigeons - Tripwire

You tell me that a man can walk on water
You tell me that a man can never die
Can you tell me that this man is not forsaken
With head hung low and tears in his eyes
You tell me that his hands were meant for healing
You tell me that this man he never lied
Can you tell me that this man could be our shepherd
When just like all the others he must die
We seldom take in life from all directions
And rarely do we pause and look around
When the wires trip us up and we all fall
We look for someone to help us off the ground
You tell me not to fear a life of wanting
You tell me not to look the other way
Can you tell me that my life is well constructed
With another nail in my coffin every day
You tell me that I should always ask these questions
You tell me not to sit on my own hands
Can you tell me why he laughs while we all suffer?
When we find ourselves with all that we can stand
We seldom take in life from all directions
And rarely do we pause and look around
When the wires trip us up and we all fall
We look for someone to help us off the ground
You tell me that we should all keep one promise
You tell me to look away from my own life
Can you tell me why there's struggle behind the faces
Or no reaching hands to rescue me from strife
