Tales Of A Star Sailor
No one ever believes
The tales spun by the star sailor
About his jumps from sun to sun
They listen and they laugh
And tell him he is lying
Then beg him to tell another one
So he closes his eyes
An eerie story begins
About a long lost planet named Earth
The people there are strange
They don't know where their going
Lost in total darkness from there birth
I watched them for awhile
They made me feel like crying
So I went down and tried to lend a hand
I came upon a village
With houses made of mud
They had made their home in the desert sand
I went to them in love
And showed them how to live
They asked, Why do you do so much to please us?
I said because I cared
And have a love for life
So they crowned my head and changed my name to Jesus
The legend spread fast
Of my arrival on Earth
It was even said my mother was a virgin
I helped to mend the sick
Though it wasn’t very hard
It was a miracle in a land with out a surgeon
But I couldn’t give enough
Or maybe gave to much
And they took me down and nailed me to a cross
So I called upon my ship
Which soon swept me away
The reward for all my work was total loss
No one ever believes
The stories told by the star sailor
About his jumps from sun to sun
They listen and they laugh
And tell him he is lying
Then beg him to tell another one.
