I Repent

Verse 1
I repent I repent of my pursuit of America's dream
I repent I repent of living like I deserve anything
Of my house my fence my kids my wife
In our suburb where we're safe and white
I am wrong and of these things I repent

Verse 2
I repent I repent of parading my liberty
I repent I repent of paying for what I can get free
And for the way I believe that I am living right
By trading sins for others that are easier to hide
I am wrong and of these things I repent

Bridge
I repent of judging by a law that even I can't keep
Of wearing righteousness like a disguise
To see through the planks in my own eyes

Verse 3
I repent I repent of trading truth for false unity
I repent I repent of confusing peace and idolatry
By caring more of what they think
Than what I know of what we need
By domesticating You until You look just like me
I am wrong and of these things I repent
