Thumbs out on a desert road   I am told, leads to nowhere   Any shade is as good as the next   If your shadow doesn't go there      Week seven, did you really assume   I'd find some solace from the letter in your room?   Next life, could you kindly refrain   From throwin' yourself at the mercy of a train      Silence all, nobody breathe   How in the world could you just leave?   You promised you would   Silence that evil with good      Hear me out, I have the floor   I'll give you my tears, I'll listen more   You promised you would   Overcome evil with good      Maybe this world is a barren place   For a soul prone to get lost   But Heaven still hounds from the smallest sounds   To the cries of the storm-tossed      Week nine, I am writin' in the sand   Any little clue that could help me understand   Every whispered secret, every muffled sigh   Every half-truth that was added to a lie      Silence all, nobody move   I've got to know, know what you hoped to prove   You promised you would   Silence that evil with good      Shame feeds guilt, guilt needs release   You took it to God, you made your peace   And swore that you would   Overcome evil with good      Every old demon playin' back the crime   If they needed blood, I'd have gladly given mine   A child of the kingdom, still an invalid   Forgive her, please Father she don't know what she did      Silence all, now go to sleep   The water's free, the well is deep   How can we return   That which we never could earn?      And God, I long to see her face   We haven't a hope beyond Your grace   I know that You will   Overcome evil   For good
