Tambourine

Bussed down into the city
Found my way to the Trinity
Read in Now Magazine
Picked up the scent of my own

I was 16 in 2003
With a secret inside of me
Filed into the congregation
Just as the organ began

There was no censoring
No shame
Just bodies abandoning
An altar of
Stained sheets
All sing along to Ban Marriage
Ooh ooh ohh

From the back
Of a darkened hall
I was guided towards it all
Never had felt so close to the heat
As they lifted me to my feet

Shine through me
Sanctuary
He gave me a tambourine
And I carried it with me

I played horn in the highschool band
Hid my face behind my bangs
Mumbled in baritone
Without a sense of my own

But they were an army of love
With sound raining down from above
Lifting their violins
Holding their heads high and proud

There was no censoring
No shame
Just bodies abandoning
An altar of
Stained sheets
All sing along to ban marriage
Ooh ooh ohh

From the back
Of a darkened hall
I was guided towards it all
Never had felt so close to the heat
As they lifted me to my feet

See right through me
Stained glass window
He gave me a tambourine
And I let go
