Well I'm afraid I'm not supposed to be like this
|
Like I was born in a land where no serpent hissed
|
And I have waited a long time for Your kiss
|
|
Well I have felt that they'd all take offense at me
|
And so a fence I have built to protect the seed
|
But all the bricks will secure its mortality
|
|
I have been seated in circles and stood in disgrace
|
At the noted intention to be in place
|
And I have seen that one man saved the human race
|
But it took His life and it took His faith
|
|
I have risen from ashes and fed on flames
|
But even so I still fear I have played a game
|
And it seems no one else is as sick and depraved
|
|
I have heard that I'm not supposed to be this way
|
And still the stones that are lifted fall down to stay
|
But I keep doubting and think one will strike my face
|
|
He's been promising me something more than pain
|
Where the cost is grace and my loss is gain
|
And I have chosen because there is no other way
|
I either wallow in shame
|
Or humble myself and be saved
|
And be saved
|
|
