He stood on the shore, he said: Come and follow me We left our nets for a hope and a light and a man fully of mystery We traveled the roads, the towns and the hills and the waves on the sea All the wonders we saw opened our eyes to a world of possibility And we dreamed, of a kingdom to come And a throne for us to sit at his side when all was said and done Can you drink this cup, he said With all your frailty and pride I can drink this cup, my Lord No hesitation, I replied He said: my friend, before this night is through You'll look on the face of a stranger and swear that I'm nothing to you I said: the sun will rise when the morning's new Such is the certainty that what you have said will never come true Just then, in a moment void of sound He caught my gaze, and my eyes dropped down to the ground Will you drink this cup, he said All you do not comprehend I will drink this cup, my Lord I will drain it to the end He stood on the shore, with the fish on the coals He was the morning that blazed in on all that the darkness stole The rubble of sand, my thousand broken promises strewn Simon do you love me? It's salt in the wound Then a pause, then words of wonder What he says is a promise and a mercy that tears my fears asunder At the end of your days, it will not be as it was At the end of your days, it will not be as it was Where you do not want to go, you will go Where you do not want to be led, you will be led And when you do not return, it will be your great returning You will drink this cup, he said Though you do not comprehend You will drink this cup, my son You will drain it to the end You will drink this cup, he said Let your heart now be at rest You will drink this cup, my son There's no fear now left in death
