What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
So I heard it from a friend that there was this guy that I should talk to
2
So you let me in, opened doors underneath a crucifix statue
3
So I explained to you, I was having troubles getting through
4
And I was thinking of my end, it was just the sky I kept looking to
5
You said "I'm on your side"
6
I thanked you and I cried
7
I almost died
8
I was making strides, I was showing up every Sunday
9
But I was still confused about the pain that had invaded me
10
And I'm still wondering if my souls worth it to anybody
11
You assured me that the congregation would hear me
12
They said "we're on your side,
13
There's an unconditional kingdom that stands up high
14
He lets all believers in through the forgiveness of sin"
15
So I explained to you what was the cause of my suffering
16
See it was a while ago, there was an alleyway and there was a group of men
17
When they hurt me they whispered that the gays had to pay
18
When they beat me all of my worth was taken away
19
See I needed you and your knowing of the lord's own way through
20
And I was unfolded, I believed there was something he could do
21
But you just hung your head and told me it was the door I needed to be
22
Going to
23
"Son there's just principles, I cannot be the one who helps you"
24
You said "I'm not your side
25
You're probably paying for your sins
26
I don't understand your kind, it isn't mine"
27
Father your cold hearts a smoking gun
28
Your cross aint no where I want to hang my hope from
29
There's still something I half believe, that's why I'm leaving this world
30
Behind me
31
See my sexuality don't have nothing to do with my integrity
32
When I get into that land, I'll lead with the one who wears the crown
33
He will say "I'm on your side
34
The side that's kind
35
Judge not what's right
36
In time you'll find you're left
