babel

cuz I know that time has numbered my days

And I'll go along with everything you say

But I'll ride home laughing,

look at me now

The walls of my town,

they come crumbling down

And my ears hear the call

of my unborn sons

And I know their choices color all I've done

But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son,

I never lived a year better spent in love

Cuz I know my weakness know my voice,

so now believe in grace and choice

And 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 sky

I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now

Then the walls of my town,

they come crumbling down

You ask where will

we stand in the winds that will howl,

As all we see will slip into the cloud

So come down from your mountain

and stand where we've been,

you know our breath

is weak and our body thin

Press my nose up

to the glass around your heart

I should've known

I was weaker from the start

You'll build your walls

and I will play my bloody part

To tear, tear them down

Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down

Cuz I know my weakness know my voice,

but I believe in grace and choice

And I know perhaps my heart is farce,

but I'll be born without a mask
