Lyrics
Jesus cured the blind man
So that he could see the evils of the world
Perhaps blindness is but a dark thought
Overcome by the light
Maybe Judas was the better man
And Mary made a virgin just to save face
I too, am so ashamed on my bended knees
Prayin' to my pretty white Jesus
They say you're the way the light
(The way)
The light so blinding
(So blinding)
Am I not to question?
Your fathers condemn me
(Condemn)
Your words are used to enslave me
(Hear my prayer)
Hear my prayer
My sweet (Jesus)
My Jesus
I, I heard that You can save me
My dear brother John convinced himself
Of his wisdom to judge, to forgive, condemn
Mother Mary full of grace
I'm so confused by his pale white face
God so loved the world he gave his only son
While many mothers bear children martyrs of greed and bitter love
While the so called "chosen", they make war, yeah
So many die in the name of God, their faith at a closed door
They say, you're the way the light
(The way)
The light so blinding
(So blinding)
Am I not to question?
Your fathers condemn me
(Condemn)
Your words are used to enslave me
(Hear my prayer)
Hear my prayer
My sweet (Jesus) Jesus
My love
I, I heard that You can save me
My sweet (Jesus) Jesus
(The way so blinding)
(Condemn)
(Hear my prayer)
(Na-na-na, na-na-na, hey)
(Got a mighty, mighty love)
(Na-na-na, na-na-na, hey)
(Got a mighty, mighty love)
(Na-na-na, na-na-na, hey)
They say, you're the way the light
(The way)
The light so blinding
(So blinding)
Am I not to question my love?
Your fathers condemn me
(Condemn)
Your words are used to enslave me
(Hear my prayer)
Have you forsaken
Have you forsaken me?
They say, you're the way the light
(The way)
The light so blinding
(So blinding)
Tell me why
Your fathers condemn me
(Condemn)
Your words enslave those before me
(Hear my prayer)
Have you forsaken
Have you forsaken me?
(Jesus)
Jesus
I heard that You can save me
Oh Lord
My sweet (Jesus) Jesus
I heard that You can save me
(I heard that You can save me)
Let your rivers wash over me
(My sweet Savior save me) Jesus
(I heard that You can save me)
I heard that You can save me
(Jesus)
My sweet Jesus
(My sweet Savior save me)
(I heard that You can save me)
I heard that You can save me
My sweet Jesus
(My sweet Savior save me)
(I heard that You can save me)
I heard that, I heard that You can save me
(I heard that You can save me)
My sweet Jesus
(My sweet Savior save me)
(I heard that You can save me)
I can say that you can save me
(My sweet Savior save me)
(I heard that You can save me)
