I try to talk to the clouds But they spill out the rain Now I'm truly convinced They've got nothing to say Will I ever learn Is there something wrong with my brain Now the weeds are on fire And they're burning away Last time I checked I'm at 34 sins Another won't matter 'cause I'm never gonna win Hoping now I'm on a road that I can change Cause I'll change If there was a time when I needed to pray That the cold wind blows away If there was a time when I needed a place To wipe the guilt free from my face If there was a time for mercy in my life It's right now If I were down on my knees Would it all be in vain But for now I'll believe Until there's some better way And my pages turn Til I've got nothing to say Now the days with no dawn Are coming of age Last time I checked I'm at 35 sins Another won't matter 'cause I'm never gonna win Holding onto a ghost that I can't save If there was a time when I needed to pray That the angels come my way If there was a time when I needed a place To wipe the guilt free from my face If there was a time for mercy in my life It's right now
