Extra Life - Righteous Seed lyrics

rate me

The picketer told us don't kill your kid

In another world we didn't

But in this one we did

The drunk words of the Jesus freak made me dream about our baby

The blunt force of a man's belief makes me dream of what we buried

I held your hand as our girl was born

She had your mouth and she had my eyes

We taught her to sing to sing and how to play piano

By your side I hold your hand

By your side I stood like a man

We raised up a righteous seed to heaven

We raised up a righteous seed together

By your side as our boy was born

We've lost our new and glistening friend

Not in love, never in love

No longer even lovers

Still I held your hand like a friend

Still I stood by you like a friend

We raised up a righteous seed to heaven

We raised up a righteous seed together

God knows we did no wrong

But something has died

Thank God we have the choice

But something has died

I'm by your side if you need to cry
