Lyrics

CONFESS

FATHER I CONFESS
I LOST MY WAY AND THE FAITH THAT I POSSESSED
MOTHER FORGIVE ME
I'M STILL THAT SAME LITTLE BOY THE I USED TO BE (JUST MUCH OLDER)

IN EVERY CHILD THERE'S A HERO
BUT HEROES FADE AND THE CHILDREN GROW OLD

DON'T YOU KNOW THAT LIFE PASSES BY
AS WE LOSE OURSELVES IN ALIBIS
WHEN THE ONLY CHANCE OF ABSOLUTION
WAS HERE ALL THE TIME

BROTHER HAVE NO REGRETS
FALLING SHORT IS THE HARDEST THING TO FORGET (AND FORGIVE YOURSELF)

SISTER GET OFF YOUR KNEES
THE CROSS YOU WEAR WILL NOT SAVE OR SET YOU FREE

AND EVERYONE WANTS A SAVIOR
BUT WHO IS WILLING TO WAIT FOR NEVER

DON'T YOU KNOW THAT LIFE PASSES BY
AS WE LOSE OURSELVES IN COMPROMISE
WHEN THE ONLY CHANCE OF ABSOLUTION WAS HERE ALL THE TIME

DON'T YOU KNOW THAT LIFE PASSES BY
AS WE DROWN OUR DREAMS IN ALIBIS
WHEN THE ONLY CHANCE OF OUR SALVATION WAS HERE ALL THE TIME


YOU'VE GOT TO SAVE YOURSELF
