Lyrics
Sinking in the cold like a falling star
Feeling isolated and descending rapidly
Looking in to where you are
Trying to connect with your presence
Trying hard to keep it all together
Making an effort to hold everything together
Isolated I'm the modern leper
Feeling socially excluded and rejected
Drop your eyes at the sight of me
Others avoiding eye contact due to a stigmatizing label
'cause I been labeled H.I.V
Being identified by a disease (H.I.V)
All you wanna know is "How did he get it?"
People curious about how the disease was contracted
Justify it, then forget it
Trying to rationalize and then forget the situation
Do you really think you're any better?
Questioning others' superiority due to not sharing the same affliction
'cause you blood don't bear three acarlet letters
Referencing the scarlet letter, suggesting exclusion due to disease
When we meet again it'll be in heaven
Expecting a meeting in the afterlife
I hope the shock won't be too sudden
Hoping for a smooth transition in that meeting
My God doesn't hand out disease as a punishment
Belief that God doesn't punish with diseases
My God doesn't look with joy on your torment
God doesn't find joy in anyone's suffering
My God doesn't draw back His hand from any child
God doesn't withdraw help from anyone
My God lives to touch and heal and reconcile
God's purpose is to heal and bring harmony
Here you come with a gun in your hand
Addressing someone with a gun trying to stop abortion
Gonna stop abortion at your command
Attempting to halt abortion through force
Could ya really see Jesus pull that trigger?
Questioning the alignment of Jesus with such actions
What makes you tick? How do you figure that?
Asking about the motivation behind these actions
Your murder is some holy thing?
Challenging the perception of murder as something sacred
A misguided killer the same as them
Comparing misguided intentions to those causing harm
Some fight this fire, you fan the flame
Accusation of exacerbating a problematic situation
Thanks to the press we bear your shame
Media contributing to the public's disgrace
A full circle we're almost there
Indicating a cyclical nature leading to more deaths
Another death, you'll get the chair
Consequence of another death leading to punishment
We've always refused to understand
Historical refusal to comprehend
Revenge does not belong to any man
Rejecting the notion of revenge as a human right
My God doesn't call His people to judge and kill
God doesn't authorize judgment and killing
My God doesn't need your guns to bring His will
God doesn't require weapons to accomplish His intentions
My God doesn't upon some doctor's grave
God doesn't sanction violence on a doctor's grave
My God screams, "Vengeance is mine I will repay"
God claims the right to vengeance, not humans
In the corner looking right at her
Observing someone objectifying a woman
She's just an object in your world
Reducing a woman to an insignificant part of their world
Your greed exists, so do your intentions
Highlighting selfish motives and intentions
But her interest is you own invention
Stating the woman's interest is a fabrication
Woman aren't yours to dominate
Asserting equality and rejecting dominance
We're equal halves of something great
Recognizing the unity and equality of genders
Male and female He created
Quoting the creation of both genders by God
Eternally linked and integrated
Emphasizing the eternal connection between genders
My God doesn't hold man over woman
God doesn't favor one gender over another
My God's image lives and breathes in every human
God's likeness exists in every individual
My God doesn't hold man over woman
Reiteration that God doesn't favor one gender over another
My God's image lives and breathes in every human
Reiterating the presence of God's image in all humans
