Basement Worship Project - The Other One

I read about the Pharisee and the faithful one
Identify with her and cheer the offering on
But I'm afraid that in that story
I am the other one

I read the story of the despised one and the priest
I wish to be the one who didn't pass-by in the street
But I'm afraid that in that story
I am the other one

I hold my privilege, I hold my power
I hold them out - not back
I hold them out - not back
I must believe they can be used for good

I read about the brothers one proud and one a mess
I long for acceptance found after recklessness
But I'm afraid that in that story
I am the other one

I hold my privilege, I hold my power
I hold them out - not back
I hold them out - not back
I must believe they can be used for good

I read the story of the thieves on either side
One takes his chance to set aside his pride
But I'm afraid that in that story
I am the other one

I hold my privilege, I hold my power
I hold them out - not back
I hold them out - not back
I must believe they can be used for good
