Song title: Derek Webb - Lover

Edit By: 216.73.216.52

like a man comes to an alter i came into this town
with the world upon my shoulders and promises passed down
and i went into the water and my father, he was pleased
i built it and ill tear it down so you will be set free
but i found thieves and salesmen living in my fathers house
i know how they got in here and i know how to get em out
im turning this place over from floor to balcony
and then just like these doves and sheep you will be set free
ive always been a lover from before i drew a breath
some things i loved easy and some i loved to death
because loves no politician, it listens carefully
of those who come i cant lose one, so you will be set free
but go on and take my picture, go on and make me up
ill still be your defender, youll be my missing son
and ill send out an army just to bring you back to me
because regardless of your brothers lies you will be set free
i am my beloveds and my beloveds mine
so you bring all your history and ill bring the bread and wine
and well have us a party where all the drinks are on me
then as surely as the rising sun you will be set free
