letra de monroe, oh - robbie schaefer

a sixty-foot jesus rising out of the water
on the side of the interstate, waist-deep in rapture
and i am left thinking with a heart full of love
why is he swimming when he can walk on that stuff?

and i prayed for a miracle i prayed for a sign
like a dream in the desert or a voice in the night
and all that i’m left with and all that i know
is salvation is rising just east of monroe

eyes on the mystery, hands reaching out
frozen in a glorious moment of doubt
and the radio’s playing some old teddy pendergrass
we drive by the prince made of peace and fiberglass

i prayed for a miracle i prayed for a sign
like a dream in the desert or a voice in the night
and all that i’m left with and all that i know
is salvation is rising just east of monroe

next door the lights are blinking at the hustlers of hollywood
twenty-one ways to spend your life feeling good
tender hearts hide behind dollars and drinkin’
sayin’ i should be rising but it feels like i’m sinkin’

and the sixty-foot jesus just sits on the interstate
winks at me sideways–the earth-bound potentate
there’s light where you look for it, there’s light where you need it
but it’s only a miracle if you show up to receive it
and i prayed for a miracle i prayed for a sign
like a dream in the desert or a voice in the night
and all that i’m left with and all that i know
is salvation is rising just east of monroe
