Sain't
Where am I going? I never really know
Every day a new stage but always the same show
Trying hard to surpass it but failing every time
I must be missing something yet somehow I’ll be fine
With every step take I stumble and I fall
And after regaining composure I still can barely crawl
Where are your angels to help me to my feet?
Where’s your loving god, that all your people creed?
What makes me so egregious, what sins do I possess?
How much more have I done to make my soul worth less?
I know when I am wrong, for choices that I make
But I try to fix and undo every foul mistake
So please, I implore you, about which path I missed
Because you say that you know about the way life is
You know that I am wrong for the way I live my life
You’ve known it all along because your beliefs aren’t mine
You are the center of your world; all life is in your hands
You take far more for granted because you think you understand
But I’m the one who’s wrong for living what is real
I don’t think I should base my life on anything surreal
I need not be blessed, by your leader’s hand
I have my own spirit, and will follow my own plan
I keep my mind wide open, take risks at every spin
I make an effort to learn about our different kin
So try and understand, when I choose to stand alone
When forced to make a choice between me and your final home
I want to make life better, not purify my soul
Your promises of salvation are just a means of control
So I am who I am, and I am satisfied
And I will continue to live this way until I die
And that’s the biggest difference between you and me
Because I am not afraid to die with hands unclean
I know what I’m doing even though I’m quite unsure
So what if my way of life doesn’t measure up to yours
Who’s to say if your way is the only way to be?
I needn’t your salvation, my life works for me
For I am only human, that is my excuse
I will not try to be a saint, for that is not my use
Every day a new stage but always the same show
Trying hard to surpass it but failing every time
I must be missing something yet somehow I’ll be fine
With every step take I stumble and I fall
And after regaining composure I still can barely crawl
