I didn't tell anyone

I wandered through the shadows

Rock music echoing in my head

Missing all my broken pieces

And the dreams I thought lay dead

It’s not that I was unhappy

I don’t want you to think I’m sad

But there are times, perhaps you’ve noticed

My behavior’s just a little mad

I didn’t tell anyone that I saw Jesus

While I drifted with the nighttime birds

I had been seeking, seeking something

He spoke to me without any words

He radiated mercy and peace

The eye in a world gone manic

He looked gentle, almost ordinary

Though his presence was titanic

You remember me as I was

Look again because I have changed

My priorities re-positioned

Hopes and desires rearranged

Once upon a time we had something

We couldn’t define or pin down

It floated away down the river

Leaving both a tear and frown

I didn’t tell anyone that I saw Jesus

While I drifted with the nighttime birds

I had been seeking, seeking something

He spoke to me without any words

He radiated mercy and peace

The eye in a world gone manic

He looked gentle, almost ordinary

Though his presence was titanic

Now I choose to follow

Wherever that river winds

I wonder, will you come with me

To witness what my heart finds

I didn’t tell anyone that I saw Jesus

While I drifted with the nighttime birds

I had been seeking, seeking something

He spoke to me without any words
