After the scripture |
|
We started to pray |
|
Holdin' our hands up |
|
Waitin' for change |
|
I hardly knew you |
|
You knew me the same |
|
So we built a shelter |
|
While we turned the weak away |
|
Your mother beside me |
|
Rattlin' her brain |
|
Makin' an offering |
|
Pacing the pain |
|
We took a picture |
|
Placed it in frame |
|
We built a fire |
|
And we turned the cold away |
|
And I know it's not |
|
What you desire |
|
This pain can't crumble |
|
Won't soon retire |
|
Everybody there was trying to hide some great desire |
|
Put away the positives and let that good girl die |
|
Everybody's prayers were turned into a gradual sigh |
|
So I paced around the backyard for awhile |
|
That was bee sting |
|
A speck in my eye |
|
A casual movement |
|
A thief in the night |
|
Now I can't forget you |
|
Sword in my side |
|
Candle that burned me |
|
Deliver me light |
|
And I know it's not |
|
What you desire |
|
This pain can't crumble |
|
Won't soon retire |
