The Messenger
You don’t need to know or remember my name
I’ll leave a message and I’ll go as quick as I came
I am just a messenger
I sleep in your alleys I sit in your schools
I know the game but someone else wrote the rules
I am just a messenger
Bridge
I may be an angel who appears in a dream
Or a poet who sings in your streets
I can run past your borders and hurtle your walls
And drop a message right at your feet
I am just a messenger
If you just look around it is always in reach
Inside your heart or a bottle you find on the beach
I am just a messenger
Oh I…am just a messenger
I may thunder like canon or fall with the rain
It’s up to you if all the messages are dying in vain
I am just a messenger.
Bridge
I may sit beside you on a bus or a plane
I could be anyone anywhere
I may be student in front of a tank
Standing in Tiananmen Square
Sax
Bridge
You may look to the heavens for words from a prophet
Or wait for the oceans to part
But let lightning and thunder stir up your souls
The answers lie deep in your heart
If history repeats it says the same thing
Don’t crucify me if you don’t like the message I bring.
I am just a messenger
Oh I am just a messenger
Oh I…am just a messenger.
