Let Me Be Understood |
| One, two— |
| One, two, three |
| Well, mama’s little martyr woke up with her face drawn on |
| What you gonna do? |
| Twenty-two, with your youth all gone |
| And all your awful glory don’t feel like it should |
| Before you hang me for my story, Lord, let me be understood |
| Oh, 'cause it ain’t about if, it’s about when |
| They put a weapon in my hand, now here I am, a heretic again |
| But I feel sure-footed, hope l’m going somewhere good |
| No time to sit and wonder, Lord, let me be understood |
| I used to walk around with shackles on my hands |
| Back when I still needed you to tell me who I am |
| We were standing at the dawn, unaware of the flood |
| Rain pours on and on, Lord, let us be understood |
| Well, ain’t you had enough, living in this picture show? |
| Move a little closer, but, oh, don’t let your demons show |
| But I wouldn’t go back even if I could |
| Howling at the drunken thunder, Lord, let me be understood |
| Well, friend, I’ve been restless and I’ve been unwell |
| But I have a heartbeat, and a trial to tell |
| You can sentence me to burn, if you feel that you should |
| But let the clock hands turn and turn, let us be understood |
| Call it revelation, call it in the air |
| Boy, you can’t reach salvation from your rocking chair |
| You’re gonna shed a tear, gonna have to give blood |
| No time to sit and wonder, Lord, let me be understood |
| Here in the monumental yonder, let me be understood |
