[Cursive - Rise Up! Rise Up! lyrics]

Dear Preacher
Thanks for making time for me today
I hope you don't mind if
I hide behind the curtain
It's been fifteen years since
My last confession
By your good book's standards I
Sinned like a champion
But that book seems a tad bit outdated

Please, forgive me for questioning divinity
It's an ugly job, but I think I'm up for it
I'm not saying who's right, I'm just saying
There's more than one way to skin a religion
There's more than one way
To explain our existence reverend, sir
I don't want to seem irreverent
My teenage angst is far behind me
But Father, certainly it's troubling to see
All these people kneeling instead of
Dealing with the fact that we're all we have



So rise up, rise up
There's no one to worship
But plenty of life to lose

I'm not saying
"Let's burn down the churches!"
But do you want to hear my confession?
It's my greatest sin (Ok, here it is)

I wasted half my life on the
Thought that I'd live forever
I wasn't raised to seize the day
But to work and worship 'cause
He that liveth and believeth
Supposedly never dies

Rise up, rise up live a full life
'Cause when it's over it's done

So, rise up, rise up
Dance and scream and love

(You're not the chosen one
And I'm not the chosen one)
