Redemption In The Verse

(album: Lucky Street - 2011)

Today a daughter will hug her father and ask whens Jesus coming back
He wonders should he even bother with the words
Cause all he got her in the world was just a box filled with regret
It played a song that sang redemption in the verse
See since the day the sunshine left it left its marks on both his wrists
And pulled the center of his heart out by a noose
See without the sun you just can't grow into the height that you belong
You stay on the ground to die with way to much to prove

And so let's all keep singing the same song
Keep singing if your wrong
Oh and chins up its all gonna clear up
There's a place where we belong

I see a couple at a diner just there for coffee and a talk
Seems like they've been there for forever when the talk began to stop
And I watched for hours from the corner and they continued down the block
To try to pinpoint every second when my heart began to stop

And so let's all keep singing the same song
Keep singing if you're wrong
Oh God and chins up it's all gonna clear up
There's a place where we belong
You see the sky can't be this gray forever
Just fill your head with something clever
And clear your throat and scream into the fog
