lyrics

I’m not proud of the history
Of the place that I’m from
I’m not proud of the folks who teach lies to the young
I’m not proud of myself
Or the things I have done
Thank God it ain’t my place to judge anyone
Thank God it ain’t my place to judge anyone

My lungs fill with breath my heart pounds in my chest
Every day getting closer to the light
In the throes of the darkness
In the middle of the storm
Still growing ever closer to the light

Of the one who was born for to bear all the weight
murdered at the hands of the church and the state
Resurrected by love just as sure as you’re born
And after the night comes a glorious morn
after the night comes a glorious morn

ice’ll thaw off the branches
sun’ll dry out the wood
Stack the stones to the remember this place
Where you kept me protect me and deliver me
Lord let me sing of your mercy and grace
Forever I’ll sing of your mercy and grace

My lungs fill with breath my heart pounds in my chest
Every day getting closer to the light
In the throes of the darkness
In the middle of the storm
Still growing ever closer to the light
