Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Never been a stranger to nights in the county jail
Been there a time or two, ain't proud of it myself
Might smoke a little weed, I've heard the grass is green
There, on the other side, ain't always what it seems
But I won't hide behind a thousand lies
At least I know who I am
[Chorus]
Nail me to the cross outside
Of your ivory tower where you sit so high
On that horse you rode, as I stand here alone
So heave me with the stones you cast
Your shadow looks back while you stare through glass
You don't think I know, I'm a jester before your throne
[Verse 2]
How's it feel up there, holier-than-thou
To live without a care, perfect in and out?
I won't hide behind a thousand lies
At least I know who I am
[Chorus]
Nail me to the cross outside
Of your ivory tower where you sit so high
On that horse you rode, as I stand here alone
So heave me with the stones you cast
Your shadow looks back while you stare through glass
You don't think I know, I'm a jester before your throne
[Outro]
Faith, true faith
It is your faith that has saved you
There's nothing that you have done yourselves
It is a beautiful gift of God, not because of you
So that no man can boast of His goodness
