Bradley Hathaway - Samuel lyrics

Well I first met Samuel on a college campus He was wearing a brown bu*ton up shirt And brown rope sandals And he told me that God loved me Even when I didn't obey my parents Or wasn't mindful of all His other commandments Like not putting Him first Or being covetous of my neighbors stuff And I ain't never heard this before So I said "Hey! What for what did God love me so for no reason more?" And he looked deep into my eyeballs Pa** my iris and vessels Through my heart And past various channels And he ended in my soul And he didn't say a word Because he didn't have to Deep down inside I just knew And I found the love I have for a girl For no obvious reason Though we're apart my love just grows with every season For the first time I held a newborn baby in my arms Saw her little heart beat Felt her little fingers and little toes Or that time when I was walking alone through the woods And I saw a brown bear all shaken and shaggy Or the love I have for my father Even though he gave me every reason to hate him Or the first time I flew in an airplane It was a religious experience Or the first time I saw a cactus in Arizona It was a religious experience Or that time when I was in Sweden Havin Swedish meatballs At my friends Vick's house Pretending to read Swedish to his little daughter With blond hair and blue eyes A story about a bear named Bossy She just laughed and she laughed Over and over again in Swedish Samuel kept talking People kept walking and bawkin And their curious stalkin Like hungry wolves with no legs But they're too proud to hang their heads and beg But they don't see that they don't have to God wants to He wants to pour out his love on us Until our hands are full And our ragin minds cool My love is a raisin And God's is a pumpkin Or a cantaloupe Or a watermelon Or a really big something And I want to eat it Yeah I want to be loved For no other reason at all except that I am All my quirks and my wrongs and my insecurities All my pa**ions My better habits and abilities Adam and Eve were both naked And bore their soles and bodies for one another And they were accept I want to be naked too Yeah let's all get naked I want to be naked with all of you There is a fear between us and beneath My heart is a drawbridge I'll lower it down So you can come in and meet me And we can eat and drink some tea
