Lyrics for Lent
As Lent begins I am listening to some of my favorite lyrics again. During lent I will post the lyrics to the song that I am listening too all week as part of my journey as a Disciple of Jesus.
“Still”
by Alanis Morissette
Dogma Soundtrack, 1999
I am the harm which you inflict
I am your brilliance and frustration
I’m the nuclear bombs if they’re to hit
I’m your immaturaty and your indignance
I am your misfits and your praised
I am your doubt and your conviction
I am your charity and your rape
I am your grasping and expectation
I see you averting your glances
I see you cheering on the war
I see you ignoring your children
And I love you still
And I love you still
I am your joy and your regret
I am your fury and your elation
I am your yearning and your sweat
I am your faithless and your religion
I see you altering history
I see you abusing the land
I see you and your selective amnesia
And I love you still
And I love you still
I am your tragedy and your fortune
I am your crisis and delight
I am your profits and your prophets
I am your art, I am your bytes
I am your death and your decisions
I am your passion and your plights
I am your sickness and convalescence
I am your weapons and your light
I see you holding your grudges
I see you gunning them down
I see you silencing your sisters
And I love you still
And I love you (still)
I see you lie to your country
I see you forcing them out
I see you blaming each other
And I love you still
I love you still
