YOU SAY

Lyrics by Peter Merz and Thaddeus Kent
Music by Thaddeus Kent

All of us are ten thousand miles away from home
Getting lost, so lost in the endless routine
Praying that somehow You'd would throw us a bone
As we brave the cold and obscene
From our point of view, you've left us all orphans
Forced us to forge our own way
And the truths that we thought we knew and are now  morphin'
Like someone switched the bait
The bait

CHORUS
You say, You say
That we've got it all wrong
You've been there all along, no
You say, You say
Through the things that hurt us
You were there to love us
You say, You say
You can turn this around, 
The lost will be found, oh
Oh Lord, You say
When the darkness stays, 
You make the night bright as day

We appreciate the sentiment of that thought
Then wonder how and why we're called kings and queens
Out of everything we know and everything we've been taught
Tell me what is fair to feel?
So we wander out in doubt like we dont belong
Is this a joke or a dream?
While the crowd sings along to the same songs
What is it that I'm supposed to sing?
I'm going to sing

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
So God, throw me a bone that I can pick with You
'Cause Your ways just aren't like mine
And I've tried, but I just can't see Your point of view
There's just so much I wish You'd explain
Explain
