Forrest Clay - Recover

Deconstructed these walls to find a business
Where the company line was the only way to get paid
We built a church on certainty that fears everything against it
Where the refugee suffers and the white man has it made

I won't do it anymore it's taken me too long to recover
I'll go feed the sick and poor and try to help the world to recover

I sat myself in your pews every single week
And I gave you my money so you could tell me what to think
And I learned from a book that you had taken the heart out of
And that's how I learned to make exclusion look like love.

I won't do it anymore it's taken me too long to recover
I'll go feed the sick and poor and try to help the world to recover

Come, come as you are, take up your cross, and use it to build a wall
Reach across the aisle and fire your gun so you can keep them
Love, love how you want, if we approve, and you'll be undefiled
Come, accept our gift, of salvation from sinners

I won't do it anymore it's taken me too long to recover
I'll go feed the sick and poor and try to help the world to recover
I won't do it anymore it's taken me too long to recover
I'll go feed the sick and poor and try to help the world to recover

Gonna take a while to wade through the fear and the hurt
But I think there's a way for us to love and heal the world
