Ode to Street Hassle

Well, I've been some far out places

I've read the writing on the wall

But today I walk with Jesus and together

Together we walk tall



And as we sat there talking, Jesus turned to say to me

"You better learn to love this life, cause there's things

There's things that are hard to see,"

And as I sat there thinking, once again he said to me

He said, "I've given you temptation, but these things, these things have got to be"



So I just sat and listened to what Jesus said to me

Cause sometimes you've gotta listen if there's things

If there's things you just can't see

While we were out walking once again he turned to me

As I looked into his eyes - his thoughts, his thoughts just came to me



Well some people never listen, some people just won't see

But I can see and hear these things

These things have got to be
