Romans 10:9 - The Mountain Goats

Wake up sixty minutes after my head hits the pillow

I can’t live like this

And in the shower I am a sailor

Standing waiting, ready for the ship to list

Everything looks burned up

I’m too scared to look around

Don’t feel like going on but

Come on, make a joyful sound

If you will believe in your heart

And confess with your lips

Surely you will be saved one day

Try to think of ways to fix myself

But everything ends in a cul-de-sac

The beast broke from the barn while we were

Sleeping, face it, face it, he’s not coming back

Don’t see what the point is

In even trying to fight

Look for the bigger picture

When I close my eyes real tight

If you will believe in your heart

And confess with your lips

Surely you will be saved one day

Look for the sign of Daniel

Consider the clues

Wait as long as I have to

For good news

Wake and rise and face the day

And try to stop the day from staring back at me

Busy hours for joyful hearts

And later maybe head out to the pharmacy

Won’t take the medication

But it’s good to have around

A kind and loving god

Won’t let my small ship run aground

If you will believe in your heart

And confess with your lips

Surely you will be saved one day
