Brown Bird My Daddy's A Preacher Lyrics

My daddy's a preacher
And my mom a believer
They pray for my soul
Every night

But now I'm feeling closer
To my god than I've ever
Since I fell away from my life

I'm too young to harbor
All the secrets of Heaven
And I don't think that I ever will

And why wait for a light
At the end of the tunnel
When I'm surrounded by a light I can feel

Now I've made a family
With my wife, dog, and water From men I've got nothing
To hide

I don't go to a book
When I'm in need of answers
I pray with my eyes open wide

'Cause I've wasted my time
And my mind aches from praying
To something way off
Close our eyes to define

And I'm tired of making this tired
Tired body do things it refuses to do

And I'm sorry my mind spins around in its cage
And I'm sorry it's spinning you too
