Lyrics

Oh my friend (Bilaam dear), You've struck me once and then once more, Your staff may break, my spirit's soar I speak to you, unheard before Behold the path (heed the signs), Your anger's blind while heaven aligns, Yet again (why, oh why?), You raise your hand, but cannot see The angel's wing that shelters me A beast of burden, wise and true With eyes to see the righteous view Look around (open wide), Feel the ground (take a stand), Your fury roars, but love's demand Guides my hooves, to peaceful land Why can't you see? (Why ignore?), The messengers of tales of yore I'm more than beats, with wisdom's core Third time's harm (why strike again?), Patience worn but still no sin, I've tried to steer (the better path), From danger's wrath, why can't you grin? Open eyes (take the clue), Not all is as it seems to you, My vision's clear (you're still blind), I've tried to show, the truth unkind The road you tread (a fateful chore), With righteous dread, leads to no shore You must trust (in your guide), And learn that faith, won't coincide Why press on (pain's not fair), Unseen forces fill the air Connections deep that you deny (open up, don’t despise) A donkey's voice, beneath the sky [Chorus] Listen close, to whispers of the wind I'll show you wonders, if stubbornness would end [Verse 3] Oh my guide (heed my voice), Your blows are hard, but I have choice To speak my heart, reveal my pain A talking beast, not just a bane The road's intent (look ahead), With love it's paved, not with dread
