Can You Lead Me to the Plane? (Have You Ever Seen the Rain?, John Fogerty)

Eko: Where did you find it?
Charlie: In the jungle. I found it in the jungle.
Eko: Take me there.
- The 23rd Psalm

I've got Creedence Clearwater Revival on the brain at the moment. Here's Eko talking to Charlie in The 23rd Psalm to the tune of Have You Ever Seen the Rain?

Can You Lead Me to the Plane?

Saw your statue in the hut. Are you a religious nut?
Oh, no. It’s a different sort of shrine.
Under Mary’s gentle grin is a stash of heroin.
I know you’re a hopeless hoarder.

I wanna know, can you lead me to the plane?
I wanna know, can you lead me to the plane
Where you found what I broke today?

I was one of many thugs who survived by running drugs.
I know Yemi scorned my life of crime.
Though I was a brutish beast, I became a parish priest.
I owed that much to my brother.

I wanna know, can you lead me to the plane?
I wanna know, can you lead me to the plane
Where you found what I broke today?

Please! I wanna know, can you lead me to the plane?
I wanna know, can you lead me to the plane
Where you found what I broke today?

My Younger Brother's Cross (Lover's Cross, Jim Croce)

One of my favorite episodes of LOST is The 23rd Psalm, which so tragically explores Eko's past. Here's a little reflection by him set in that episode to the tune of Jim Croce's Lover's Cross.

My Younger Brother's Cross

How I wish this had not happened!
Poor Yemi, killed for my crime.
In the plane that I envisioned,
I have found what I had feared to find,
For if it seemed that he might be a martyr,
I would never acknowledge the clue,
But, Charlie, since I see my younger brother's cross, I do.

I am sure this is confusing to you.
You stare; your eyes are wide.
Yemi risked his life on my behalf,
And it is my fault that he died.
I guess that he had the nerve of a martyr,
Possessing courage that I never knew.
Now, Charlie, since I see my younger brother's cross, I do.

Perhaps he will hear my yearning
And know I have pledged to change.
In pain, I continue learning
That this business of life is a dangerous game.

Charlie, you have helped me find my brother.
You have shown me to this spot,
So stand beside me as I cry,
Exposing my grief to God.
I suspected he might be a martyr before,
But I had to have proof it was true,
So, Charlie, since I see my younger brother's cross, I do.

(repeat bridge and chorus)
