about

One of my pastors did a dramatic piece about a shepherd hearing from his friend about Jesus...I wanted to sort of capture the crazyness of the incarnation and to engage it more fully by putting some ambivalent emotions in there, creating a character who kinda captures the dual nature of being a shepherd called to see Jesus or the innkeeper who puts him in the stable and then feels self-conscious...

lyrics

This house is such a mess
I didn't think you would come so soon
The beds were full up man
I'm sorry but there isn't any room
Holidays remind us of the homes we left behind
And the people far from my eyes

I'm sorry bout the shit
We'll clear a space so you can sleep
Man it's been rough around here
Where the hell you been?
We've been waiting
We stopped waiting

You're not much to look at there
Straw tangled in your hair
I was hoping for some help
Guess I expected something else

Damn, and really though why would you stay with us?
I hate to say it, but we ain't got much,
I hope it's enough

Este templo es tu templo
Make yourself at home I guess
Welcome to your world
Do you think you can fix all this?
I'm sorry I'll stop talking
Rest on us so we can rest
