It's not a family trait
It's nothing that I ate
And it didn't come from skating with holy rollers

It's an early warning sign
It keeps my life in line
But it's so hard to define

Never mind

Chorus

It's just a spirit thing
It's just a holy nudge
It's like a circuit judge in the brain

It's just a spirit thing
It's here to guard my heart
It's just a little hard to explain


It pushes when I quit
It smells a counterfeit

Sometimes it works a bit like a teleprompter

When it's teleprompting you

I pray you'll let it through
And I'll help you with the how
But for now


- Chorus -


Bridge
I took the pulpit
Then backed down again

Some things in heaven cannot be explained

I took the soapbox

Then backed down again
Some things in heaven cannot be explained


I took the airwaves
Then backed down again
Some things in heaven cannot be explained


- Chorus -
