Ministers
I saw a future then I didn’t quite believe
A plotting particle trying to pass through the sieve
I loved the energy in your glassy eyes
So much that I’ll reprise every word I tried to hide
‘Cause I was someone else
When we were ministers
You showed yourself to me when leading those retreats
Poised and purposeful, Pieta pulled us to our knees
I saw my speeding clock, ran from Antioch
Left behind what could have been a friendship like an evergreen
But I was blind and dumb
When we were ministers
I was someone else
Shut off the lights and kept mine for myself
I was someone else
When we were ministers
