The sadness that you feel today
It's young and potent
But my love you'll own it
Discovering something new
Same things from a taller view
My love, you're growing into it
You want your inner voice
To hear back from the still-small one
But I have no answers for this
Your child faith used to strengthen mine
When it should have been the other way around
So God, please blame me for this
You counted me down from ten
Convinced me in my slumber
Number by number you take me under
You saw the world for what it really is
Do not be part of its ugliness
You promised me, you promised
Hello, Mr. Burden
I know you've had a long way
And I've stood that ground before
Tried to take your yesterday
But the song you sing
I sang or wrote
With my heart in my stomach
And my stomach in my throat
Still bleeding Christ for an antidote
So God, please blame me for this
You promised me, you promised
