All my life I tried to change the paint
All these years I tried to rearrange
This old house in which I was raised
The home I always loved
Something somehow didn't feel quite right

All my life I had to beg for mercy
Chasing a fire that could burn me clean
Wash away the dirt in me
Wash away the dirt in me
Something somehow didn't feel quite right

I grew up in heaven
In the hands of men
Close to God
Close to soul
Save from this world

I was born a sinner
But worked hard for grace
How should I escape
The only home I know

Something somehow didn't feel quite right

When you're born into damnation
The only way to find redemption
Is giving up

I grew up in heaven
In the hands of men
Close to God
Close to soul
Save from this world

I was born a sinner
But worked hard for grace
How should I escape
The only home I love

I grew up in heaven
In the hands of men
Close to God
Close to soul
Save from this world

I was born a sinner
But worked hard for grace
How should I escape
The only home I want
