I repent

I repent

I repent of my pursuit of America's dream

I repent

I repent of living like I deserve anything

of my house, my fence, my kids, my wife

in our suburb where we're safe and white

I am wrong and of these things I repent

I repent

I repent of parading my liberty

I repent
I repent of paying for what I get for free

and for the way I believe that I am living right

by trading sins for others that are easier to hide

I am wrong and of these things I repent

I repent judging by a law that even I can't keep

of wearing righteousness like a disguise

to see through the planks in my own eyes

I repent

I repent of trading truth for false unity

I repent

I repent of confusing peace and idolatry

by caring more of what they think

than what I know of what we need

by domesticating you until you look just like me

I am wrong and of these things I repent
