We Pass By

Inspired by:
Gospel of Luke 10:29-37
 

In an unnoticed house that everyone passes by
There's a girl no one knows who is trying not to cry
For she's caught in a cycle of going through motions
Forced to leave her true devotion lie... and we just pass by

So she's praying for a sign, and she's listening for an answer
But she can't help the feeling she's falling behind
While the panic wells up in her eyes... and we just pass by

In an unnoticed corner where there's never the time
The paint on the palette cracked like desert sand where it dried
There's an unfinished canvas that calls to the brushes
It's been a long time since they could reply... and she passes by

In an unnoticed field that no one passes by
There's a girl that everyone knows
And the well polished marble that marks where she lies
Says she had a melancholy soul

And now, her self portrait hangs on a gallery wall
Where her new-found admirers come, and she stares at them all
And she looks at them right in the eye
She looks at them as if to ask why... did you just pass by?

And she prayed for a sign...
