Amnesty -

I dream of things most people are frightened of

They tend to dwell here,

an asphyxiating disease

It’s been so long since I’ve seen this ground What right do I have to be here

at all

But in this fight for my life There’s nowhere else I’d rather have fallen

Amnesty Just pardon for my wrongs But it doesn’t change what I’ve done

They suffocate my air supply Threatening to take the vessel down (take the

whole thing down)

I’m terrified to be defined this way

Can words bring healing rain?

Or am I subject to blind dismay

Amnesty Just pardon for my wrongs But it doesn’t change what I’ve done

Amnesty I’m guilty where I stand But I do know a man who’ll save me

It’s temporary but it feels eternal

I have nothing left to gain here (There is nothing left for me)

Deep in the heart of bitterness I’ll rip the root out soak in cleansing (come

down and cleanse me Lord)

This fire seems overwhelming I offer up my soul (take my soul)

You outstretch Your arms,

death that was meant for me

You taught me

Amnesty Just pardon for my wrongs But it doesn’t change what I’ve done

Amnesty I’m guilty where I stand But I do know a man who’ll save me
