- The Prophet LyricsReluctant ride in the middle of the belly of a whale
A wheel on fire in the middle of the sky
Abandoned baby kicking on the side of the road
And a wife has died but you're denied the right to cry
Three men walk out protected from a furnace of flame
One man cries out from a miry well
See a man in the myrtles and women with the wind in their
wings
Understand what these seared lips can tell
Chorus:
I am the prophet and I smolder and burn
I scream and cry and wonder why you never seemed to learn
To hear with your own ears with your own eyes to see
I am the prophet, won't you listen to me?
I am the prophet, won't you listen to me?
I hold out hope to everyone who hears and understands
The Word of God can echo in the voice of a man
He's the shadow of a great rock in a dry and weary land
With the names of the ones He loved carved into His hands
CHORUS
The sorrow in His anger, my eyes weep His tears
His life alight in me
I am the sword that cuts His people apart
I speak the Word that comforts their faithless hearts
A wheel on fire in the middle of the sky
Abandoned baby kicking on the side of the road
And a wife has died but you're denied the right to cry
Three men walk out protected from a furnace of flame
One man cries out from a miry well
See a man in the myrtles and women with the wind in their
wings
Understand what these seared lips can tell
Chorus:
I am the prophet and I smolder and burn
I scream and cry and wonder why you never seemed to learn
To hear with your own ears with your own eyes to see
I am the prophet, won't you listen to me?
I hold out hope to everyone who hears and understands
The Word of God can echo in the voice of a man
He's the shadow of a great rock in a dry and weary land
With the names of the ones He loved carved into His hands
CHORUS
The sorrow in His anger, my eyes weep His tears
His life alight in me
I am the sword that cuts His people apart
I speak the Word that comforts their faithless hearts

✔️
When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, Michael Card's song 'The Prophet' is a vivid representation of the life of a prophet who bears the burden of imparting God’s words to the people who more than often do not listen. He uses very expressive metaphors like "being in a whale's belly", "keeping a very dim light of hope", and "being a sword that cuts", all pointing to the reality that a prophet is really in a hard and frustrating position of being God's messenger. The prophet's lyrics mostly focus on reflection, spirituality, and mysticism, but the counterpoint of those is that the song also suggests the importance of prophecy and warning, suffering and hope, and faith and understanding. The lyrics bear the traces of sorrow, loss, and religious imagery which might not be appropriate for children unless they are accompanied by an adult. Nevertheless, due to the mature themes, the song is rated PG even though it does not contain any bad language or explicit scenes.
