lyrics

sopping wet in my Sunday best
hoarse from calling for help
clawing my way out of the salt marsh
where I immersed myself
 
sediment clings to my collar
stiffens and cracks along my cuffs
never wholly dry, the brackish water’s brine
a constant drip, a reminder of
 
salt of the earth
make me dry
salt of the earth
scrub the blear
from my eyes

strait is the gate, narrow is the way
and few there be that find it
surmounting the city upon a hill
my arms start calcifying

pyretic beads of caustic sweat
corrode my corn husk hide
another child of wrath clinging
to the miry hillside

I want to love selflessly
become the salt of the earth
but every act on behalf of my fellow man
only serves my self-worth
