Amen
Written by Jewel Kilcher

You're mother's child, but night lays you down
Hair aflame, wild look in your eyes
Naked belly to he ground
A forest fire nibbles at your vein
Crawls up your arm, runs away with your mind
And burns dry thoughts like leaves

Amen

Eyes stare up, but something's in the way
In the Bible only angels have wings
And the rest must wait to be saved
A dry tongue screams at the sky
But the wind just breathes words in
As a strange bird tries to fly

Amen

Pieces of us die everyday as though out flesh were hell
Such an unjustice, as children were are told that from God we fell
Where are my angels? Where is my golden one?
Where is my hope now that my heroes have gone?
Some are being beaten, some are being born
And some can't tell the difference anymore

Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
