Lletres: Lex Zaleta. Asking For Forever. Asking for Forever.

You arrived on Christmas Day,
Which really has us thinking.
That harmonica you play
Has the wise men all winking.

Are you the new Messiah -
Or maybe the new Dylan?
Or just some poor pariah -
Our next media villain?

I don't want to know ancient history.
I just want to know what's in this for me.

Can you take all of this sadness
Out of my life?
Can you make me filled with gladness
Instead of strife?
Can you at least make all of this
Pain go away?
I'm not asking for forever;
Just for today.
I'm not asking for forever;
Just for today.

Those magic tricks that you do

Suit the younger crowd just fine.
The more mature wait for you
To make water taste like wine.

Can we believe the blind mimes
Who tell us where we're headin'?
Are these really the end times?
Is this town Armageddon?

I don't want to know ancient history.
I just want to know what's in this for me.

Can you take all of this sadness
Out of my life?
Can you make me filled with gladness
Instead of strife?
Can you at least make all of this
Pain go away?
I'm not asking for forever;
Just for today.
I'm not asking for forever;
Just for today.
