Standard (EADGBE)

I was b orn to potential and limitless grace

with the flashing of light

it was gone when the sm oke cleared

cast in a sh and powder

I was r aised to obey and respect but

at the edge of the lake

was dead and disr uption

when the water splashed ac ross my back

it bur ned

for the dead there's no comfort in f ate

and the line is faintly defi ned

and the purpose of living is life

I wasn't chosen, I didn't choose the path

my heart's not built to hold his love

REPEAT FOR THE REST OF THE SONG

I was schooled

in a place of tradition

but something was missing

in faces of classmates

eyes declared too blue, too deep

in the church will lead us to worship

fighting to pull it apart

with my nails

as they chewed solid unpaid misery???

from the bloods took the truth from the lies

and the lie they took greatly to god

when the lies after death is a prize

I wanna reach out

I wanna shake your hand

your war is noble and divine
