Siloam

Verse 1

Siloam

Silver water

Cold against my palms

Dirt and spit

Rubbed into the sockets

Muddy mask

A heavy crust of clay

Hard ground

The heat is breaking

My fingers find the basin edge

Searching

I lean low

I dip my face

Chorus

Now I come to Siloam

Where I shall be made clean

Now I come to Siloam

Where I shall be made clean

I once was blind

But now I see

I once was blind

But now I see

Verse 2

Rinse it

Wash the darkness

The black turns into grey

Drip

Drip

Drip

Swelling colors

Blue is like a scream

The trees have skin

Faces are a puzzle

Fearful

Sudden

Beautiful

I see the people

I see the stones

Chorus

Now I come to Siloam

Where I shall be made clean

Now I come to Siloam

Where I shall be made clean

I once was blind

But now I see

I once was blind

But now I see

Bridge

They ask me how

They ask me who

They ask me why

I don't have the map

I don't have the math

I only have the light

Burning through my lids

Burning through the past

He touched me

He left me

He changed me

Chorus

Now I come to Siloam

Where I shall be made clean

Now I come to Siloam

Where I shall be made clean

I once was blind

But now I see

I once was blind

But now I see

Outro

I see

I see

The water is moving

The light is a weight

I see

I see

Finally

Finally

Finally
