lyrics

Many years I've tried
To know the ways of the churchgoing kind
It never ceased to seem a little out of reach
For someone who believed like me

When I was only five
My nature taught me to justify
The choices I would make
And the lives that I would take
But still it never made things right

In this chair we learn
That lightning gives us what we deserve
You don't get one more chance, or redemption's second glance
But everything will be alright

If I could turn back time
I'd like to shield myself and keep what was mine
I'd put rockers on that chair and forgive what's way back there
And say come sit and talk with me
