Derek Webb - I Repent lyrics
[Derek Webb - I Repent lyrics]
I repent of my pursuit of America's dream
I repent
I repent of living like i deserve anything
Of my house, my fence, my kids, my wife
In our suburb where we're safe and white
I am wrong and of these things i repent
I repent, i repent of parading my liberty
I repent i repent of paying for
What i get for free
And for the way i believe
That i am living right
By trading sins for others that
Are easier to hide
I am wrong and of these things i repent
I repent judging by a law
That even i can't keep
Of wearing righteousness like a disguise
To see through the planks in my own eyes
I repent
I repent of trading truth for false unity
I repent
I repent of confusing peace and idolatry
By caring more of what they think than
What i know of what we need
By domesticating you until you
Look just like me
I am wrong and of these things i repent
