Denied (feat. Alice Coltrane) Lyrics

Lili Haydn Denied (feat. Alice Coltrane)

the many times I have tried
to live on easy street and been denied
you see me cry, oh Lord
swim against the tide, oh Lord
when I have been denied

for every target I have missed
for every angel I have kissed
you see me try, oh Lord
to be satisfied, oh Lord
when I have been denied

and I've been furious
and I have accepted it
and have feared my fate
and I've rejected it
and I have lied my Lord
but mostly deep inside my Lord
when I have been denied

and I've been arrogant
and I have been atheist
and I have sung your praise
with my seductive twist
it was just my pride, my Lord
made me want to hide, my Lord
it's you that's been denied
yes it has been you that I've denied
