The sun in your eyes (Song and Sketch)

The sun in your eyes is yellow,
Until you close them, then it's green -
And the pictures in your mind are sometimes clearer,
Than reality ever seems.

And the pictures in your mind they go around, around
And the pictures in your mind they go around. (Twice)


There once came a Man who was walking
Among the people that He knew,
But their eyes were closed and the things He said
Were to open just a few.

But the words that He said are still around, around
But the words that He said are still around. (Twice)


And while their eyes were still closed
They nailed Him to a tree,
But He rose again on the third day
And he set all captives free!

And the blood that He shed is still around, around
And the blood that He shed is still around. (Twice)


(The music continues: Four people walk on and form a line. They crouch down and close their eyes. 'Jesus' walks up behind them and touches two on the shoulder, at the same time. They put their hand up to his, open their eyes, rise together and all lift their hands up. They all three walk backwards a few paces and stop. They lower their arms and let go of each others hands, then 'Jesus' walks forwards again and touches the other two on the shoulder. These two reach for his hand, rise, do not open their eyes but hold his arms out and act as though hammering nails into his palms. They then return to the crouching position whilst 'Jesus' hangs there, arms outstretched. The back two then come forward and, putting their heads under his arms, take him 'down' and drag him back to their former position. Turning inwards so that their backs are to the audience, they lower 'Jesus' to the ground, where he crouches behind them. The singer then continues)


And the morel of this story
Is quite clear - If you would believe,
Just open your eyes and see Jesus Christ
And the Truth will set you free!


(The music continues as the two actors at the back turn outward again and Jesus stands at the same time. He walks between them to the front two and touches their shoulder a second time. This time they open their eyes, and turn, but then cover their eyes with their other arms and turn their head away. Jesus takes their free hand and pulls them up. As they rise they turn to look at him and then slowly bow to one knee and also bow their heads. As they are doing this 'Jesus' and the other two at the back, lift their hands up at the same time. they hold this position until the music ends. Five count. Front two rise, as back two come forward to make a line. All bow to the front, then file off together.)
