Out of the depths I cry to you oh lord Don't let my cries for mercy be ignored If you keep account of sins oh who would stand? But you have forgiveness in your hands
And I've heard religion say you're to be feared But I don't buy into everything I hear And it seems to me you're hostage to those rules That were made by religion and not by you
And I'm wondering will u ever get yourself free Is it bad to think you might like help from me? Is there anything my little heart can do To help religion share us with you?
For oh you're like a ghost in your own home Nobody hears you crying all alone Oh you are the one true really voiceless one They have their backs turned to you for worship of gold and stone
And to see you prisoner oh makes me weep Nobody hears you screaming in the streets And it's sad but true how the old saying goes If God lived on earth people would break his windows
I long for you as watchmen long for the end of night
