Love Letters To God

Oh, love letters to God

I wonder if she reads them or if they get lost

In the stars, stars

In the stars

So many parts to a heavy heart

If there's no beginning

Then where would you start?

Start, start, where would you start?

Give, always give what you can

Even if your allies draw lines in the sand

And give, always dig a little deeper

Sometimes it's hard to be my brother's keeper

Love, so you let love in

Baby, I am home in the wave of your skin

And it's crazy how we wear our ceremony

Always be open to your path and your journey

Yes, she cradles my loneliness

A home in a forest nest

Universal test

Feel the weight of my love

Put your hand to my chest and rest

In the cradle of my arms

The battle that we face is the place where our scars come from

And to pick up the gun

My love, we are destined to teach these ones to be brave

And never run away

Courage is birthed from the womb

On the first light of day

Yeah the day you were born

You came out perfect never meant to be torn

And silence, never been so loud

And the violence, never been so proud of a people

We're all fightin' for a change

Not afraid to lose it all despite all the rage

We are animals and we cannot be caged

Provoked us to fight

So we burn a little sage and write poetry

Wiser than the enemy will ever be

The minority, an authority

Are you here to protect or arrest me?

Can't tolerate the hate and we're losing sleep

Can't breathe cause they're choking out a war in me

Immorality

Oh, letters to God

I wonder if she reads them or if they get lost

In the stars, stars

In the stars

So many parts to a heavy heart

If there's no beginning

Then where would you start?

Start, start, where would you start?

Human souls, so we carve 'em in the story totem poles

'Cause we always searching for a certain goal

A pattern of physics, a role

Don't believe all you're told, and open

Open up your fist

A misconception, you can fight like this

And praise with the power of prayer

If God's on our side we can take the stairs

To the heavens

Flippin' through my chapter seven

I live with the snakes and the great deception

No court, in this country for men

Who steal from the mother on paper with pen

And we're trippin, down a red dirt road

And we're asking, is this the way we should go?

Kissin, soft top feet of my goddess

We'll walk the earth

Baby, yeah, we got this

Focus, and it's redirected

Grateful, and I'm resurrected

Stubborn, but I know the way

You're the skin on my drums

To your rhythms I will sway

Take my hand, I won't lead you astray

We will not go gently into the darkest of days

Grandma's here, and she says persevere

Take a walk in her mocs, taste the trail of tears

And our fears are the same as they ever were

Beers, numb the pain of the holocaust years

Always mobbing in motion

Maybe, baby be an island or an ocean

Your arches, how they bend and contract in my conscience

Never slip through the grip of my thesis

And my theory is I shine in your presence

Of deliverance

Oh, letters to God

I wonder if she reads them or if they get lost

In the stars, stars

In the stars

So many parts to a heavy heart

If there's no beginning

Then where would you start?

Start, start, where would you start?
