lyrics

The Last Teaching of Jess

1st Verse :
Some will be ready to tell you
“She said she did this for God,”
Or “she said she did this for you,”
In any case it’s odd.

You know, this morning at school,
The teacher set herself aflame
With a match and some fuel.
They say “Nobody’s to blame.”

Chorus:
I wonder, (Wonder!)
It’s hard to sort out the mess,
I wonder, (Wonder!)
What was the last teaching of Jess?

2nd Verse:
Did she want us to see the show
When she did this in the schoolyard?
Did she want us to know
That teaching is getting hard?

They say our best prophet
Died for our sake:
Did she want us to profit
Or to follow in her wake?

Chorus

3rd Verse:
Throughout it all, she was serene.
She walked with self-restraint.
Can you picture the scene?
She wasn’t the first to faint.

She was weighing each step
As if they were words to heed.
Does the memory she left
Still induce you to read?

Chorus (x2)
