Description: i hope it's not too... i don't know... serious. well... then again... maybe i do. lol. i don't usually do song lyrics on layouts, but this song seems to bring me around EVERYTIME i get off track in life... and boy have i ever gotten off track lately. but as usual, the words spoken in this song (and most of his songs) slap me around and get me focused on the big picture again. (if that "picture" is so big... how come it's so easily forgotten? ack.)


journaling:
i repent of my pursuit of america's dream
of living like i deserve anything
of my house, my fence, my kids, my wife
in our suburb where we're safe and white
i am wrong and of these things i repent


i repent of parading my liberty
of paying for what i get for free
and for the way i believe that i am living right
by trading sins for others that are easier to hide
i am wrong and of these things i repent


i repent judging by a law that even i can't keep
of wearing righteousness like a disguise
to see through the planks in my own eyes


i repent of trading truth for false unity
of confusing peace and idolatry
by caring more of what they think than what i know of what we need
by domesticating you until you look just like me
i am wrong and of these things i repent
