about

John the Baptist sits alone in his cell, beginning to question whether he was right in thinking that Jesus was the One.

lyrics

In my dreams I sometimes see
A man who lived, who looked like me
who waited for the coming one
but each day more of him is gone.
My prison walls are dark and cold
But darker still the thoughts that hold
That man who was the the voice who cried
In the wilderness...

No-one now to hear his call
I'm shouting at a prison wall
And now I know there's no way out
So the darkness crawls with doubt
I've heard no sounds of revolution,
There's no sign of your great solution,
I only want to know before
My time here is done

Are you the one, the one that we've been waiting for?
Tell me that you're the one I thought you were before.
I just want to know, to drive away all doubt and fear
That you're the one to change things for us all down here.

It seemed on Jordan's banks I knew I'd
See the kingdom come with you, I'd
Hoped that John, the voice that cried
Would spend some time there by your side
But now I find I'm not so certain,
I sense that final closing curtain
I only want to know again
The faith that I knew then.

Are you the one, the one that we've been waiting for?
Tell me that you're the one I thought you were before.
I just want to know, to drive away all doubt and fear.
That you're the one to change things for us all down here.

But even through these walls of doubt
I hear the stories people shout
the blind can see the lame who walk
the deaf can hear the mute man talk
and with that news comes sweet release
My darkest corner fills with peace
and here at last I know again
the truth I knew before

You are the one, the one that we've been waiting for.
You are the one, the one to bring us what's in store.
I just heard the words I really need to hear
That you're the one to change things for us all down here.
