Love Letters to God Songtext

von Nahko & Medicine for the People

Give, always give what you can
Even if your allies draw lines in the sand
And dig, always dig a little deeper
Sometimes it's hard to be my brother's keeper
Love, so you let love in
Baby I am home in the wake of your skin
And it's crazy how we wear our ceremony
Always be open to you path and your journey
Yes, she cradles my loneliness
A home in a forest nest
Universal test, feel the weight of my love
Put your hand on my chest
And rest in the cradle of my arms
The battle that we face
Is a place where our scars come from
And to pick up the gun
My love we are destined to teach these ones to be brave
And never run away
Courage is birthed from the womb on the first light of day
Yeah the day you were born
You came out perfect never meant to be torn
And silence, never been so loud
And the violence, never been so proud of a people
When we're fighting for a change
Not afraid to lose it all despite all the rage
We are animals
And we can not be caged
Provoke us to fight
So we burn a little sage
And write poetry
Wiser than the enemy will ever be
The minority,
An authority
Are you here to protect or arrest me?
I can't tolerate the hate
And I'm losing sleep
Can't breathe ‘cause their choking out a war in me
Immorality,
Yeah
Love letters to God
I wonder if she reads them
Or if they get lost in the stars?,
Stars, in the stars
Yeah
So many parts to a heavy heart
If there's no beginning then where would you start?
Start, start, where would you start?
Human souls, so we carve'em into story totem poles
‘Cause we're always searching for a certain goal
A pattern of physics, a role
Don't believe all you're told
And open, open up your fist
A misconception you can fight like this
And praise, with the power of prayer
If God's on our side we can take the stairs to the heavens
Flip in to my chapter seven
I live with the snakes
In the great deception
No court in this country for men
Who steal from the mother on paper with pen
And we're tripping down a red dirt road
And we're asking "Is this the way we should go?"
Kissing soft-top feet of my goddess
We walk the Earth baby yeah we got this
Focus and it's redirected
Grateful and I'm resurrected
Stubborn, but I know the way
You're the skin on my drum to your rhythm I will sway
Take my hand, I won't lead you astray
We will not go gently into the darkest of days
Grandma's here and she says persevere
Take a walk in her mark see's a trail of tears
And our fears are the same as they ever were
Beers, numb the pain of a holocaust
Gears, always marvel in motion
Maybe baby be an island of an ocean
Now archers, how they bend and contract on my conscience
Never slipped through the grip of my thesis
And my theory is I shine in your presence, a deliverance
Yeah
Love letters to God
I wonder if she reads them
Or if they get lost in the stars? Stars, in the stars
Yeah
So many parts to a heavy heart
If there's no beginning then where would you start?
Start, start, where would you start?
