Song | Teen For God |
Artist | Dar Williams |
Album | My Better Self |
作词 : Williams | |
The sun burns down leaving | |
God's bright stamp | |
On Peach Branch | |
Horse and | |
Bible Camp | |
Where we're splashing in the water, joined in song | |
Swimming with the | |
Spirit the whole day long | |
I'm a teen for | |
GodGod is watching, teen for | |
GodGod is watching, teen for | |
GodThe girls have looks and the girls have rules | |
They came here from their | |
Bible schools | |
They can make you pay attention to the way you dress and eat | |
Make you trip over your own two feet and | |
They kneel down on their towels at night | |
Their nightgowns glow with a | |
Holy light | |
And we pray for the sinners and their drunken car wrecks | |
And vow that | |
I'll never get high and have sex | |
I'm a teen for | |
GodGod is watching, teen for | |
GodGod is watching, teen for | |
GodAnd God made every leaf on every tree | |
Each grain of sand, | |
God has a plan | |
For what we're meant to be | |
I gotta wait for | |
GodDear Lord, | |
I plan each day | |
The things | |
I will not do or say | |
But I'm driven by a passion, is it only there to tame? | |
It fills my heart and it calls my name and | |
This world that you made for us | |
I know, I know, is dangerous | |
So I ride a lot of horses, never even swear | |
Sorta like praying, | |
I'm just not there | |
Oh GodGod is watching, oh | |
GodGod is watching | |
But God made love, | |
God made the rivers run | |
And cowboy boots and bathing suits | |
And the boy's skin dries in the sun | |
You gotta help me, | |
GodHelp me know four years from now | |
I won't believe in | |
You anyhow | |
And I'll mope around the campus and | |
I'll feel betrayed | |
All those guilty summers, | |
I stayedBut then | |
I'll laugh that | |
I fell for the lure | |
Of the pain of desire to feel so pure | |
And I'll bear all the burdens of my little daily crimes | |
Wish I had a | |
God for such cynical times far from today | |
But for now, | |
I'm a sacred vessel, rip me open | |
I spread Your word like a milkweed pod | |
I'm a radio station, | |
Your Holy transmission | |
Even more, like a lightning rod | |
I'm a lightning rod, a teen for | |
GodTeen for | |
GodGod is watching, teen for | |
GodGod is watching, | |
I'm a teen for | |
God |
