Oh God, I'm sorry. I have run you down. Take me to the river, make me clean with sound.
And oh King of Heaven, I am but a crater. Break my legs and show me the way back home again.
Oh Lord of mercy, for I have heard it. I am prone to wander, so break my legs again.
And oh Jesus Christ, I am but a sinner. Take me to the water and change my name again.
"Know you are forgiven." I am forgiven.
So what have we come to? A thousand tounges to slay.
But I have seen the money to pay my debts clean.
And I hope you're worth it, for I have trusted many. So take my face, destroy it and change my name again.
"Go, you are forgiven." I am forgiven.
Come back to me. Come home to me.
