Wash me clean again   And take me down in your water   And try to make me understand    Cause in this life that I live   I might have grown a little harder   But so have these times      Where we just war with words   And fight for rights to take a life   In the name of peace   But we cannot hide behind our picket fences,   Abortion lines, and warn defences   I dont' understand      Touch and go, it survives    In this land of our fathers   The bleeding and the needing    Are left behind      You say one name out aloud    While inside you feel another   But there is some comfort in pleasing the crowd   So you just raise your hands up to the sky   And scream a verse that will make them cry      But when those politics   They don't stick around   Those words fight back   They'll take you down   And you won't understand      So lord search my soul   And find the need to break this stone    And plant a seed and find me   Find a place for me inside
