From the recording Spinoza's Dream (2016)
Lyrics
Spinoza's Dream
Dave Nachmanoff
I was “Baruch,” but now I'm “Benedict”
They called me heretic
But still I’m blessed
I had a dream, saw it was all the same
Nature and God, two names
For everything
CHORUS:
But my words they land in silence
Like the snow on the canal
How many years until they hear me
And understand, the dream I had
And realize the oneness of it all
And in my dream, I saw the evidence
Of peace and tolerance
In every heart
I wrote it down, in geometric proof
To try to share the truth
With one and all
(Chorus)
And so I wait, and grind my lenses here
To try to make things clear
And still I’m blessed, and still I’m blessed
And still I’m blessed
