lyrics

I don’t speak for the sake of my own good. I don’t speak as if
no one else could. I don’t speak so that my God will love me more. I speak because my heart
once looked like yours. I don’t speak as if I hold all the cures cause in fact there is only one
and the same way you believe the night marries the moon I believe life married the son after
3 days that held more disbelief than you’ve probably held your entire life. Now I’m living mine
under the son but for most it only has even been night. We’re always looking for what’s wrong
and right, but sometimes it’s between what’s foolish and wise and we’re always separating
God in distances, but in the end we’ll all be seperated by truth and lies. The greatest one is
that I ever deserved to be your son cause if God looked like me then that’s no God that I
would want to serve. I’d say to hell with him cause after all that’s the only thing I deserve.
Oh thank God that you’re not fair, cause if you were then dear Lord I swear I’d be a
damned. Oh thank God that I was wrong when I tired to sing my redemption song and I was
the only one playing along.
