and to love: a god

and to fear: a flame

and to burn a crowd that a name

and to right or wrong

and to meek or strong

it is known, just scream it from the wall

I've willed, I've walked, I've read

I've talked, I know, I know,

I've been here before

hey, now we won't be raped

hey, now we won't be scarred like that

it's the sun that burns

it's the wheel that turns

it's the way we sing that makes 'em dream

and to Christ: a cross

and to me: a chair

I will sit and earn the ransom from up here
