the parable of the son
[Verse 1]
I'm not the savior you asked for
I'm not the person I thought I would be
I left a note on the back porch
Said I was sorry for all of the things I said
I was over my head
So when I leave home and I end up dead
I'm not the savior you asked for
[Pre-Chorus]
So when it's time to go to sleep
Will You say to me
"You don't have to leave, darling
Stay with Me"
[Chorus]
"I am the light upon your feet
I am your bed when you get weak
I'll be your blanket to wear when it's colder
Don't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders
And I will calm your seas and set you free
And when you don't know where to go
Darling, I will be your home"
[Verse 2]
I'm only twenty but I hate the person that I see
Wish that I could feel alright, I'm cursed by this anxiety
If you found out who I am I don't think you'd like him
So I just keep hiding
And I like it that way because if they never know who I am
Then I never gotta feel another stone
Some days I believe in God and then other days I don't
There's a noose around my faith
If I tighten up the rope and I
[Pre-Chorus]
Go to sleep
Will You say to me
"You don't have to leave, darling
Stay with Me"
[Chorus]
"I am the light upon your feet
I am your bed when you get weak
I'll be your blanket to wear when it's colder
Don't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders
And I will calm your seas and set you free
And when you don't know where to go
Darling, I will be your home
I am the light upon your feet
I am your bed when you get weak
I'll be your blanket to wear when it's colder
Don't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders
I will calm your seas and set you free
And when you don't know where to go
Darling, I will be your-"
