Purpose

Shame you so rude
I don't really wanna know you, dude
You say you follow jesus, but I see is
Hatred and bigotry pouring out of you
Hiding behind the words of ugly men
Written so long ago, times were different then

Times have changed, and the time has come to leave
All the old behind, time for a reprieve
A release of all that doctrine
We've been carrying for years
All the tears it caused and fears it brought
I'll be praying for you, dear

You told me this would send me to hell
But now, it has become my source of everlasting love and power

I'm sending you strength
Because it takes a lot
Sending you the love
And the truth that you forgot
When you were just a babe
Long before the world made
You leave behind your innocence
In place of ancient sentiments
Of the days long gone

It's scary when you realise that all you've learned is wrong

Our father, who left us here
Who abandoned us at birth to face the world
It's unclear what your intentions were
Thy kindgom come, and in it we are failing
We're killing and destroying all that you created

Choking up the fountains
Polluting shangri-la
Choking on "the word of God"
It's getting harder to see the stars
Up there
And where in the world
Did the bodhisattvas go?

I don't wanna move on until I know
I'm taking you with me

(Our father, who left us here)
(Who abandoned us at birth to face the world)
(It's unclear what your intentions were)
(I'm sending you strength)
(I'm sending you strength)
