JEWEL lyrics : "Amen"

You're mothers' child
but night lays you down
hair aflame, wile look in your eye

Naked belly to the ground
A forest fire
Nibbles at your veins

Crawls up your arm
runs away with your mind
And burns dry thoughts like leaves

Amen
Eyes stare up
but something's in the way

In the Bible only angels have wings
And the rest must wait to be saved
A dry tongue

Screams at the sky
But the wind just breathes words in
As a strange bird tries to fly

Amen
Pieces of us die everyday
As though our flesh were hell

Such injustice, as children we are told
That from God we fell.
Where are my angels?

Where's my golden one?
Where's my hope
now that my heroes have gone?

Some are being beaten
Some are being born.
And some can't tell the difference anymore

Amen
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
