Sides Lyrics

So I heard it from a friend that there was this guy that I should talk to

So you let me in, opened doors underneath a crucifix statue

So I explained to you, I was having troubles getting through

And I was thinking of my end, it was just the sky I kept looking to

You said "I'm on your side"

I thanked you and I cried

I almost died

I was making strides, I was showing up every Sunday

But I was still confused about the pain that had invaded me

And I'm still wondering if my souls worth it to anybody

You assured me that the congregation would hear me

They said "we're on your side,

There's an unconditional kingdom that stands up high

He lets all believers in through the forgiveness of sin“

So I explained to you what was the cause of my suffering

See it was a while ago, there was an alleyway and there was a group of men

When they hurt me they whispered that the gays had to pay

When they beat me all of my worth was taken away

See I needed you and your knowing of the lord's own way through

And I was unfolded, I believed there was something he could do

But you just hung your head and told me it was the door I needed to be

Going to

"Son there's just principles, I cannot be the one who helps you“

You said "I'm not your side

You're probably paying for your sins

I don't understand your kind, it isn't mine“

Father your cold hearts a smoking gun

Your cross aint no where I want to hang my hope from

There's still something I half believe, that's why I'm leaving this world

Behind me

See my sexuality don't have nothing to do with my integrity

When I get into that land, I'll lead with the one who wears the crown

He will say "I'm on your side

The side that's kind

Judge not what's right

In time you'll find you're left
