Babel
Cuz I know that time has numbered my daysAnd I’ll go along with everything you sayBut I’ll ride home laughing, look at me nowThe walls of my town, they come crumbling downAnd my ears hear the call of my unborn sonsAnd I know their choices color all I’ve doneBut I’ll explain it all to the watchman’s son,I never lived a year better spent in loveCuz I know my weakness know my voice,So now believe in grace and choiceAnd I know perhaps my heart is farce,But I’ll be born without a mask
(Woo!)
Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride,I stretch my arms into the skyI cry Babel! Babel!Look at me nowThen the walls of my town,they come crumbling downYou ask where will we standIn the winds that will howl,As all we see will slip into the cloudSo come down from your mountainAnd stand where we’ve been,You know our breath is weak and our body thin
Press my nose up to the glass around your heartI should’ve known I was weaker from the startYou’ll build your walls and I will play my bloody partTo tear, tear them downWell I’m gonna tear, tear them down
Cuz I know my weakness know my voice,But I believe in grace and choiceAnd I know perhaps my heart is farce,But I’ll be born without a mask
