Whole

So I sit here and I think about the world
I think I think too much in general
I was raised a Christian girl, a Christian girl
But you say I dance with the devil
I don't know if there's a god or if we're accidents
Or if we came from something
And it bothers you to know that I'm okay
I'm okay knowing next to nothing

Oh whole
I'm just trying to be whole, to be whole
Oh whole
I'm just trying to be whole, to be whole
When you ask me where we come from
All I know is that I came out of my mother
And it's beautiful to know that I can give
Yes I can give life to another
When you ask me where we go when we pass on
Well I know not of hell or heaven
When you're six feet underground
Six feet under, you know I'll come by and I'll visit
[Chorus]
Oh whole
I'm just trying to be whole, to be whole
Oh whole
I'm just trying to be whole, to be whole
And it seems to me the downfall of the world
Inside the garden came from woman
Did she not have redeeming qualities
That possibly could let her be forgiven?
And why did Jesus have to die for all my sins
What are the sins that I've committed?
Oh yeah you preach to me, you preach to me
When you're the one who needs acts of contrition
[Chorus]
Oh whole
I'm just trying to be whole, to be whole
Oh whole
I'm just trying to be whole, to be whole
Yeah it's easy to throw stones
When you live upon an altar of your own
And oh it's easy to throw stones
When you live upon an altar of your own, of your own, of your...
