Oh I dream in uncertainties

How I wish that those dreams were larger than me

I cling to surety

Secure in the humdrum, commonplace, free

Does God love the man who dies with his plans

Bow-tied and wrapped on a shelf

We sleep in perpetuity

For our eyes were not meant to see

No our eyes were not meant to see

 

Oh I love hesitatingly

How I wish I could love much harder than me

I feel too infrequently

Oh I wish that the floodgates would open for me

Would God strike me down if I let myself drown

And drank in the beauty of sin

We’re bound in solitude

For our hearts were not built to feel

No our hearts were not built to feel

 

Does God have a plan

For the cowered and the damned

The listless, the fearful and weak

Their burden is on our yoke

For their lips were not meant to speak

No their lips were not meant to speak
