i repent of my pursuit of America's dream

i repent of living like i deserve anything

my house, my fence, my kids, and my wife

in our suburb where we're safe and white

i am wrong and of these things i repent

i repent of parading my liberty

i repent of paying forvwhat i get for free

the way i believe that i am living right

by trading sins for others that are easier to hide

i am wrong and of these things i repent

i repent judging by a law that even i can't keep

wearin righteousness like a disguise to see through

the planks in my own eyes

i repent of trading truth for false unity

i repent of confusing peace and idolatry

of caring more of what they think than what i know of what they need

and domesticating You until You look just like me

i am wrong and of these things i repent
