My body breaks beneath the weight Of toil and trouble, fears and fights Sickness in me, world against me I cry to You tonight Christ have mercy
Feathered, tethered Feels like all the world?s a cage Worked up, run down In this race to earn a wage Something ? inside Tells me I was made to
Used to be the smiter came Struck my cheek and I cursed his name Used to be my fist was drawn My heart was stone and its mercy gone I was wrong to
This way is paved with tears Shed for two thousand years Wrung from the saints sincere Martyred and mourned Spirit who scorched their veins Burn
Send the armies and darkest hours Every flag, every sword and power I will never turn I will never turn No, no, I will never turn from You Take
No magistrate can legislate Peace and love and hope No song can end or sermon mend The fatal flaws in our souls Pen and paper, Whitehouse won Will
of all humanity Such a sad song, sad song Now the sun sets on the sands Bombs like rain spill over man While orphans made of flags and steel Cry
Throw your stones at silver screens Faces on magazines Burn my rock n roll Blame my schools, my ADD My mom, my MTV Curse my chromosomes Chorus
I woke up like every day before and read the news It was there in black and white with all the whats and whos A headline so hard to fathom it just
I can?t get by If I can?t get you Chorus: There?s a white flag Waving where my colors used to fly You win There?s a white flag Giving up and giving
I tremble at Your presence Shaken by the truth, that You are God No deed can bring You pleasure Or word add a measure To who You are Chorus: Bless
He yells through the night With a face full of fight Stepping over the ring that she wore She runs for the car But she doesn?t get far His boots
