A short piano/vocal ballad. The title of the song refers to the Biblical prophet Jonah, who's insistent demand for justice causes him to mistake good intentions for power. The authority of the singer dissolves at the end of the song as presence is acknowledged as a power superior to thought.

Lyrics
Jonah
Call it a calling I am poorly divided I am alone you flow over the only one I say I know.
Barefeet tell lies to the ground so I go making a sound when I expected to wait here.
(It feels like I've been wait all night for a positive light a measure more and you might be.)
Surprise.
Call it a calling again what I will sing for a friend and get a friend for a song why am I over you?
Poorly divided into too many chosen to choose what do I know of the one that we are never not never?
(I was working the day in a positive way but I wanted to fight so I wanted to fight how I wanted it.)
Take the hole in your hand Jonah fight like a man and press a coin into mine a better beggar better I
defend defeat you again warning to wait until when I am clever but you are
here.
