After the Scripture |
| 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 |
