Born Again
Yearning for Redemption: A Soul's Cry for Renewal
Lyrics
I wish that I was ready, I wish I felt the need
I desire readiness and a sense of need for spiritual transformation.
To loosen up and let the good lord plant his holy seed
Expressing a willingness to embrace religious guidance and divine intervention.
I want to make confession to a priest and make the sign
Desire to confess sins to a priest and seek forgiveness through ritualistic gestures.
And be given absolution, never serving any time
Aspiration for absolution without facing the consequences of one's actions.
I want a pure heaven
Expressing a longing for a perfect afterlife.
And a righteous mind amen
Desire for a righteous mindset, concluding with an "amen" (a traditional religious affirmation).
And be forgiven
Wishing to be forgiven for past transgressions.
I swear to God I wish I was born again
An earnest wish to be spiritually reborn and start anew.
I want to mock your science with holy blinders on
Expressing a desire to dismiss scientific explanations with a closed-minded, devout perspective.
I want heathens and dissenters I can look down upon
Yearning for a sense of superiority over those who do not share the same beliefs.
I want to witness lord Jehova, I want the rug of Christ
Expressing a desire to witness the divine and seeking comfort in religious symbols.
My house do need sweeping and I want to keep my vice
Acknowledging personal flaws and the need for moral purification.
I want a pure heaven
Reiteration of the desire for a perfect afterlife.
And a righteous mind amen
Reaffirmation of the longing for a righteous mindset with a religious affirmation.
And be forgiven
Continued wish for forgiveness.
I swear to God I wish I was born again
Reiteration of the sincere desire to be spiritually reborn.
Born again, I wished that I was born again
Repeated expression of the longing to be born again.
Born again, I wished that I was born again
Continued repetition of the desire for spiritual rebirth.
Born again, I wished that I was born again
Final repetition of the wish to be born again.
Born again and I swear to God I wish I was born again
Concluding with a reaffirmation of the sincere wish for spiritual rebirth.
