Jewel - Amen lyrics

You're mothers' child, but night lays you down<br>Hair aflame, wild look in your eyes<br>Naked belly to the ground<br>A forest fire nibbles at your veins<br>Crawls up your arm, runs away with your mind<br>And burns dry thoughts like leaves<br>Amen<br><br>Eyes stare up, but something's in the way<br>In the Bible only angels have wings<br>And the rest must wait to be saved<br>A dry tongue screams at the sky<br>But the wind just breathes words in<br>As a strange bird tries to fly<br>Amen<br><br>Pieces of us die everyday as though our flesh were hell<br>Such injustice, as children we are told that from God we fell<br>Where are my angels? <br>Where's my golden one? <br>Where's my hope now that my heros have gone? <br>Some are being beaten, some are being born<br>And some can't tell the difference anymore<br>Amen<br><br>Hallelujah<br>Hallelujah
