The Sane Response (Lyric)

.
The Sane Response


How come the angels lose and devils win
And even Satan says he’s born again
How come suicide sometimes feel right
The face of day that’s as dark as night

I am angry so I won’t cry
I am angry so I won’t cry

How come bullets kill but hope keeps on
How come we all murdered God’s Son?
And keep it up with our evangelical tongue
Such an ugly song we wrote and sung

It’s as cold as loneliness outside
I heard the weather man say
As he rolled up his charts
And packed all our hearts away

There comes a break when love’s revealed
And the sky stays grey but hey
Something’s changed in how we pray
Steady on that silent narrow way

I am angry so I won’t cry
I am angry so I won’t cry

And yet I cry, and cry, and cry each day
Sweetie, lay your burden on me, stay
It’s okay okay okay okay okay…
Your anger doesn’t scare me – stay.
