Liberation kept me from my faith, my dear lord
The wings you gave me kept me from walkin' through doors, my lord
Why do my prayers go unanswered, oh my dear lord?
Mama did not deserve what you gave her, my lord
Now let's pretend, now let's pretend we're not
Sinful, tempted ones
If only God, if only God gave us a little more time
Then we'd find out he wasn't there at all
Then we'd find out he wasn't there at all
Then we'd find out he wasn't there at all
Our sins are purged, our sins are purged
Then we'd find out he wasn't there at all
Then we'd find out he wasn't there at all
Then we'd find out he wasn't there at all
Our sins are purged, our sins are purged
Oh, my dear lord
Oh, my dear lord
Oh, my dear lord
Oh, my dear lord
