lyrics

My life until now
Was asking for easy ways out
Choice to run from choice that scared me
Was always still a cross to carry

I’ve been waiting for the big event
Waiting for the obvious
End of the story
But even that God won’t interpret for me

I may never really count the cost
I always prayed for freedom but now that I’m free I’m lost
It’s not that I can’t believe
It’s that I don’t want to grieve
I prayed for enlightenment but wasn’t prepared to weep

I’ve waited for God to vindicate me
For a faith that would save me
But Nazarites will lose their hair
Every temple curtain tears

The time has come to decide
How far I’ll go without a sign
I can’t follow into Jerusalem
Still playing dumb

I may never know that I know
In a dry and thirsty land my plea gets answered with a poem:
“World is adoration
Silence is saturation”
There’s freedom out of Egypt
But it’s straight into wilderness
