Bon Iver - Sides Lyrics
So I heard it from a friend that there was this guy that I should talk toSo you let me in, opened doors underneath a crucifix statueSo I explained to you, I was having troubles getting throughAnd I was thinking of my end, it was just the sky I kept looking toYou said "I'm on your side"I thanked you and I criedI almost diedI was making strides, I was showing up every SundayBut I was still confused about the pain that had invaded meAnd I'm still wondering if my souls worth it to anybodyYou assured me that the congregation would hear meThey said "we're on your side,There's an unconditional kingdom that stands up highHe lets all believers in through the forgiveness of sin?So I explained to you what was the cause of my sufferingSee it was a while ago, there was an alleyway and there was a group of menWhen they hurt me they whispered that the gays had to payWhen they beat me all of my worth was taken awaySee I needed you and your knowing of the lord's own way throughAnd I was unfolded, I believed there was something he could doBut you just hung your head and told me it was the door I needed to beGoing to"Son there's just principles, I cannot be the one who helps you?You said "I'm not your sideYou're probably paying for your sinsI don't understand your kind, it isn't mine?Father your cold hearts a smoking gunYour cross aint no where I want to hang my hope fromThere's still something I half believe, that's why I'm leaving this worldBehind meSee my sexuality don't have nothing to do with my integrityWhen I get into that land, I'll lead with the one who wears the crownHe will say "I'm on your sideThe side that's kindJudge not what's rightIn time you'll find you're left
