"Yelling At A Deaf Man"

I've been caught
Reaping what I've wrought
Walls are falling at my feet
Begin to see a different me

Can't see clearly
But I'm holding on so dearly
To the things I understand
Write myself out of the plan

I've fallen harder
Than I ever imagined

[chorus]
You've caught me
Now the two of us can see
This is further down the road
Than I thought I could go
You told me
Not sacrifice, but mercy
And yet I'm yelling at a deaf man
Yelling at a deaf man

He's been lost
Touching answers in the dark
Starting to believe it
Though he can't yet see it

Along comes me
Like a self-sustained disease
No, I'm not the one who saves
Putting people in their graves

I've fallen farther
Than I ever imagined

[chorus]
You caught me
Now the two of us can see
This is further down the road
Than I thought I could go
You told me
Not sacrifice, but mercy
And yet I'm yelling at a deaf man
I'm yelling at a deaf man

Have I
Really blown it all this time
Can I
Do much more to set it right
Have You
Heard the sightless souls who cry
Can You still breathe Your life
In the places that I've helped to die

I've been yelling at a deaf man
Yelling at a deaf man
Yelling at a deaf man
But it's not too late for Your hand
