231206: A Man Named Tom

from Leap Songs, Part 2 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

A man named Tom was kind to me one day
Said some words I needed someone to say
If you haven't yet I hope there comes a day
You meet a man named Tom

Well I read the bible first word to the last
I see a pattern to the future and the past
Got some questions don't know who to ask
Might ask a man named Tom

Now I've never been to Bethlehem
And I cannot quote the Psalms
For all the searching ain't met Jesus yet
But I met a man named Tom

Vote for this one the other one's the worst
Take his picture but crucify him first
World today is a blessing and a curse
Thank God for a man named Tom

A man named Tom was kind to me one day
Said some words I needed someone to say
If you haven't yet I hope there comes a day
