Lyrics
I saw the desert wind tear across the wilderness
I felt it blowing off the page
The teacher told me, "son, always remember this"
And I have always been afraid
I read about the God of Moses, roaring in the holy cloud
It shook my bedroom window panes
I did not understand then, I do not understand now
I don't expect You to explain
Chorus 1:
You've been a mystery since the moment that I met You
You never move but I can never seem to catch You
The Cornerstone
You said to eat Your flesh, before You broke the bread and blessed it
Before You poured the wine for every man
This is a hard, hard teaching, can any man accept it
Can any sage here understand?
You turned the tables over, there in Your Father's temple
You cracked a whip and raised a shout
My daughter asked me why
I said, "love is never simple, it draws 'em in and drives 'em out"
Chorus 2:
I saw You there but it was too late to change my course
And I collided with a beautiful, immovable force
And so the stone that I rejected, it has become
The Cornerstone
All the maps were drawn
But the maps were wrong
The stars spin around another sun
All the maps were drawn
But the maps were wrong
The rivers are running from
The Cornerstone
And You looked me in the eye and fixed me with a permanent stare
I met Your gaze and ssaw the forges of the firmament here
The Cornerstone
And the floods come up
And the rains come down
