What It's Like

(album: So Much For Substitutes - 2003)

In my life all the strife is getting in the way
Frankly I did not plan on getting hurt today
From Your chair in the clouds
Benevolent are Your ways
While the begger bleeds, the children play
Everyone wants to know why
Isn't it always the question
How do You know my condition?

You came down to me to know what it's like
To know what it's like to hurt
You came down to me to know what it's like
To know just what it's like to
Be me, to be us

In the wake of the last decades and centuries past
Who's to blame for this mess?
And who's gonna take the rap?
We're quick to judge and discard
A God who lets us choose whom and what to love
Isn't it always the question?
Do You really know my position?

You came down to me to know what it's like
To know what it's like to hurt
You came down to me to know what it's like
To know just what it's like to
Be me, to be us
To be one with the dust and to be lost

You know what it's like
To thirst, to bleed
You know what it's like

You came down to me to know what it's like
To know what it's like to hurt
You came down to me to know what it's like
To know just what it's like to

You came down
You know just what it's like, you know just what it's like to hurt
You came down to me
You know just what it's like, you know just what it's like
To be me, to be us
To be lost to be found
