But they kneel to prey
The law is under the knee
And, Christ
died
to fulfill the law
He died, to set us free
But love and hate
Are in the hearts
So man bows
in deep surrender
On knees that restrict
the breath of life
forever
On history that
don't act
So we kneel to pray
as they kneel to prey
And we kneel to pray
As they kneel to prey
Yes we kneel to pray
When they kneel to prey
And condemn
The untamed tongue
The infuriated eyes
The anguish cries
With upside down bibles
In photoshoots
And insane commands
To shoot
To control the youth
and years of ancestral struggles
In our veins
Because the Law
The law is under their knee
But God will raise up a Gideon
An unchecked uprising
As we kneel
to pray
