G5
      G5
I was born to potential and limitless grace
with the flashing of light
        C5              A5
it was gone when the smoke cleared
C5        A5
cast in ash and powder

       G5
I was raised to obey and respect but
at the edge of the lake
     C5           A5
was dead and disruption
          C5               A5
when the water splashed across my back

      G5
it burned
                                    B5
for the dead there's no comfort in fate
                            C5
and the line is faintly defined
                               F5   G5
and the purpose of living is life

F5
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
