I was born in late September, the darkness pushed in But as far as I can remember, they said God let the light in To our table, where nothing stood out as strange or unkind But I kept being on the look out Knew there was something else to find A man stopped me on stairs of marble, said he sensed what a gift I've been given for future marvel, I felt who am I to insist But my daddy, he told me something: I had to feel it in me No fool could tell me, a fourteen something No fool would own what I'll be Spent my time, spent my time in awe of the faith Words went by, tongue-tied by the word of the faith Temptress, don't know by the look in their eyes Now hide away, you represent the floods and the fires So I wondered how other people come to grow, come to thrive Like spiral steps up church bell steeples, the guilt of being alive I'm not asking him: Come to save me But may God shine his light, like a kiss or as if he forgave me For always choosing the night Spent my time, spent my time in awe of the faith Words went by, tongue-tied by the word of the faith Temptress, don't know by the look in their eyes Now hide away, you represent the floods and the fires Left us all carrying the weight of the world With all due respect, tongue-tied up until He return Left us all carrying the weight of the world With all due respect, I'll waith outside until He returns Speak in tongues or lipsyncing the nineties rung Telling me I'm sinking back The music can take me far away some days But no grace will be shown for those who won't show In church on Sundays, yeah
