A Different Path

The weather was fair
the judge was fair
the air was still
the canyon clear

There stood Christ
a defiant Christ
disciple of God
advocate of cruise

He kissed for fear
he kissed for courage
he'd hunger for everything
to forget what he thought

He'd scream at the air
and break off the mirrors
he'd thank all the dealers
and blame all the blame

Then came Christ, a defiant Christ
pulling down the trail
his light had dimmed
his tan had faded

He ate his aura
and held his breath
took Solomon's aim
and shot the horse
