I write the lyrics
And then I memorize them
Put grown men to sleep
Cause they're like a lullaby then
And when they pass away
That's when I'm improvising
But you don't have to fear
So now, just close those little eyes then
Now all that you couldn't see
Let me just paint the pictures
I live life by the Word
Not every single scripture
You want to sail the vessel
But the priest says he's the skipper
And that's the life you follow
In all religious strictures
See the image is so clear
When you're looking from the Truth
But when we were young in faith
They said to fight nail and tooth
But as we beat ourselves down
Our eyes just couldn't see through
So we were left within the blind
With a message all aloof
We add a dash of color
And the picture becomes vivid
We see the blood of Christ
And then decide to live it
Religion says it's wrong
But we can easily dismiss it
For the contrast shows the courses
And they're the ones more livid
We're messing with their pocket books
Their profits and their greed
We're telling tales truthfully
While they're losing prophecies
The system is against us
But we're not losing any sleep
For we know who we arose with
And we know how strong's the Seed
You get a little detail
Then the picture nears complete
You see the marks He bore
The nails in hands and feet
Now you want to understand it
You need simply take a seat
Just to rest in your existence
With no strongholds to defeat
Now it's time that you awaken
Let this Truth rule supreme
You thought you lost your way
But the Way's the Light, the Beam
Let It guide you out of darkness
He was created to redeem
Now that your life is picture perfect
Realize it's no longer just a dream
