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 |
