WATERDEEP - I'M AFRAID I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS lyrics

rate me

Well I'm afraid I'm not supposed to be like this

Like I was born in a land where no serpent hissed

And I have waited a long time for Your kiss

Well I have felt that they'd all take offense at me

And so a fence I have built to protect the seed

But all the bricks will secure its mortality

I have been seated in circles and stood in disgrace

At the noted intention to be in place

And I have seen that one man saved the human race

But it took His life and it took His faith

I have risen from ashes and fed on flames

But even so I still fear I have played a game

And it seems no one else is as sick and depraved

I have heard that I'm not supposed to be this way

And still the stones that are lifted fall down to stay

But I keep doubting and think one will strike my face

He's been promising me something more than pain

Where the cost is grace and my loss is gain

And I have chosen because there is no other way

I either wallow in shame

Or humble myself and be saved

And be saved
