and to love: a god
and to fear: a flame
and to burn a crowd that a name
and to right or wrong
and to meek or strong
it is known, just scream it from the wall
I've willed, I've walked, I've read
I've talked, I know, I know,
I've been here before
hey, now we won't be raped
hey, now we won't be scarred like that
it's the sun that burns
it's the wheel that turns
it's the way we sing that makes 'em dream
and to Christ: a cross
and to me: a chair
I will sit and earn the ransom from up here
