The crowd made it impossible to find a way.
Of getting him in ; they lowered him down .
How often do we ourselves help find a way .
How often do we let someone down.

Who is this man talking blasphemy.
Who can forgive sins but God alone.
How often do we just faith in our own alchemy.
How often do we ourselves set the wrong tone.

Which is easier to say your sins are forgiven.
Or to say get up and walk.
How often do we ask to be striven.
How often do we just do the talk.

We are happy to stand around and criticise.
Too slow to accept the evidence of our eyes.

……..

Others do lifting
We just stand aside waiting
For him to be helped
