    Lyrics:
    Show me the place where you want your slave to go
    Show me the place I've forgotten I don't know
    Show me the place where my head is bendin' low
    Show me the place where you want your slave to go
    Show me the place, help me roll away the stone
    Show me the place, I can't move this thing alone
    Show me the place where the word became a man
    Show me the place where the suffering began
    The troubles came I saved what I could save
    A thread of light, a particle, a wave
    But there were chains, so I hastened to behave
    There were chains, so I loved you like a slave
    Show me the place where you want your slave to go
    Show me the place I've forgotten I don't know
    Show me the place where my head is bendin' low
    Show me the place where you want your slave to go
    The troubles came I saved what I could save
    A thread of light, a particle, a wave
    But there were chains, so I hastened to behave
    There were chains, so I loved you like a slave
    Show me the place
    Show me the place
    Show me the place
    Show me the place, help me roll away the stone
    Show me the place, I can't move this thing alone
    Show me the place where the word became a man
    Show me the place where the suffering began

    This is a prayer, a religious hymn. A cry of surrender and subdued protest to God's mysterious ways.

    Timeless poignancy in this hymn like offering from Mr Cohen.
    The terminality of man, the surrender, the endurance, the weight of responsibility and the vulnerability in prayerful submission.

    Today I learnt Leonard Cohen passed away two weeks ago. And I feel It's a pity he is not going to compose such inspiring songs anymore. Anyways some persons pass through life without bringing anything worthy to others, and that's not his case. What an honor to leave without this regret. Thanks Leonard

    It seems, to me, that Leonard Cohen thinks about God in a far more profound way than many can. That's what I see in this song, anyway. What an incredible soul.

    • @theonlymeaning
      @theonlymeaning 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      it's literally in his DNA.....descended from Rabbis ,carrying the surname of the royal priesthood then being born and raised in Montreal, he saw gatherings of black habit wearing nuns, or the nuns all dressed in white....he saw crucifixes everywhere in that outpost of France ....he must have looked long and hard at that tortured and crucified Jew, who comes in and out of so many of the poemsongprayers from his soul to G-d, to us on behalf of G-d and to G-d on behalf of us, and he seems intuitively to know we will take into our beings , in perfect eternal turning, the poemsongprayer and make it all, G-d him and you and I our own.

    What an unbelievably beautiful song--I almost want to say psalm--from the great Leonard Cohen. He understands the many shackles of the world, especially pride and ignorance, that keep us from our true nature. And yet there is a profound conversion from master to man, from holding the chains to bending the head low, from doubt to faith--a faith only possible through brotherhood: removing the stone together.

    I fell in love with him the day we met. The day He died I met him. I normally dont love a singer. I doubt I ever loved a singer. He reached so far in his songs that reached to all my written poetry, unpublished. He is a song that inspired my awakening in his death, a beautiful story. I suppose it is between us. I think he met me without me knowing it.
