[Intro]

Mm, mm

My mirror has been changing

I don't know what's remaining

I'll do my best to explain it

[Chorus]

I've lied to you, baby

I'm not as strong as I pretend to be

Heavenly Father, the world is in my way

I'm not as strong

Heavenly Father, the world is in my way

[Verse 1]

What a beautiful song when the pain gets too strong

I could wake up at dawn and sit still and suffer in the silence

I kept it down deep with me, I'm all alone, are you with me?

Circle back from where you send me, can't come inside when it's windy

Oh, they turn they nose and cut me down while I'm building Rome

Would you believe me if I said I wasn't coming home?

And I wasn't lying when I said I'd carry you to the river, baby

Oh, yeah

[Chorus]

I've lied to you, baby

I'm not as strong as I pretend to be

Heavenly Father, the world is in my way

I'm not as strong

Heavenly Father, the world is in my way

[Verse 2]

Minnesota moon, put you in my shoes and see what ensues

Ooh, the window to my soul, I feel it being closed

I can see me decompose, wrinkles from what I've been told

Ooh, when I break down and I can feel my body getting slow

When I leave here, can I say I put on a show?

So do not grab my hand when things don't go as planned

Oh, I am not that man

[Chorus]

I lied to you, baby

I'm not as strong as I pretend to be

Heavenly Father, the world is in my way

I'm not as strong

Heavenly Father, the world is in my way

[Bridge]

Feel so human, feel so human

My mind, my soul, my love

Hey (Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)

I followed a dark cloud all the way home

Woah (Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)

I thought about it, thought about it, this can't be long

[Outro]

One of these mornings, I'ma rise up singing, babe

You gon' see it, babe, yeah

One of these mornings, I'ma rise up singing, baby

You'll see it, babe
