You're mothers' child
|
but night lays you down
|
hair aflame, wile look in your eye
|
Naked belly to the ground
|
A forest fire
|
Nibbles at your veins
|
Crawls up your arm
|
runs away with your mind
|
And burns dry thoughts like leaves
|
Amen
|
Eyes stare up
|
but something's in the way
|
In the Bible only angels have wings
|
And the rest must wait to be saved
|
A dry tongue
|
Screams at the sky
|
But the wind just breathes words in
|
As a strange bird tries to fly
|
Amen
|
Pieces of us die everyday
|
As though our flesh were hell
|
Such injustice, as children we are told
|
That from God we fell.
|
Where are my angels?
|
Where's my golden one?
|
Where's my hope
|
now that my heroes have gone?
|
Some are being beaten
|
Some are being born.
|
And some can't tell the difference anymore
|
Amen
|
Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|

Amen
