lyrics
This gravel road that’s in my leg,
sending signals to my head,
my insides are showing red, and there is no one to turn away
onlookers piercing my defense, seeing all my ignorance
of who I was and who I am and who I dream to be.
But who you are is who i wished I was,
and who I am is what I never wished to be.
Put all the stars painting pictures by my bed,
and I will choose which one I want, and I will reach for it again.
Broken mirrors showing every move I make,
ten times over them my heart is telling my brain
to learn from my mistakes
I’ve heard many petitions about who im gonna be but ive never met that man and I am close with his disease, but I never shook his hand.
sending signals to my head,
my insides are showing red, and there is no one to turn away
onlookers piercing my defense, seeing all my ignorance
of who I was and who I am and who I dream to be.
But who you are is who i wished I was,
and who I am is what I never wished to be.
Put all the stars painting pictures by my bed,
and I will choose which one I want, and I will reach for it again.
Broken mirrors showing every move I make,
ten times over them my heart is telling my brain
to learn from my mistakes
I’ve heard many petitions about who im gonna be but ive never met that man and I am close with his disease, but I never shook his hand.

about
the lilies & sparrows Greer, South Carolina
the lilies and sparrows originated from Ben Patat's acoustic writings while on and off of tour with the band Divide the Sea. The songs are our way of praising God for what he has done for us. He is worthy of all of our praise for the sole reason that He created us, not to mention that He sent His son to die for our sins so that we may be considered righteous through faith. ... more
