Pool Of Bethesda Letra

I am an old man from Jerusalem I'm a merchant of sheep hereabout From the shadows behind my marketplace stall I've watched many a drama play out I haven't learned any great secrets And I haven't a whole lot to show But the one thing I know happened so long ago One day by the Pool of Bethesda They say that a miracle's struck more than once (As for me, I'm not all that sure) But folks who believe, they will travel for months In the hopes of finding a cure On the five wide porches surrounding the pool Scores of afflicted souls kneel And each of them feels that he can be healed One day by the Pool of Bethesda Now one man, he lay there year after year Crippled for most of his life Twisted by time, damned by despair All the angels had passed this one by I saw him approached by a stranger As they spoke, he looked up in surprise With my very own eyes, I saw him arise That day by the Pool of Bethesda He got up and he walked, then he danced and he cried With a joy that I rarely have heard And the stranger was gone before we knew why Or how such a thing could occur Now rumors abound all over this town Till you don't know what's true anymore But I heard what I heard and I saw what I saw That day by the Pool of Bethesda I watched life pass by from my sheep market stall In the dust, in the heat, in the rain Till I saw something happen I still can't explain One day by the Pool of Bethesda
