lyrics

Today I feel kind of bland, like a worn out rubber band
With no purpose or command of my fate
And a Calvinist might say that God meant it that way
That he crafted us out of clay
Just to be thrown into the fire

I sit me down at my evening meal
I say a prayer that I try to feel
I give thanks to the Lord and I thank Him for the hands that made it

And yes I know what the good book says
But I don’t know where my good book is
I don’t mean to be so hard but do you need to be so complicated?

I break my bread and I sip my wine
The bread of life is so hard to find
Must I wait ‘til I die before I finally get to meet my maker?

And if I hold on tight to the Holy Grail
Will you leave me on the water with no wind in my sails
And if I fall overboard will you finally take me home?

Don’t let me die, don’t let me die
Hold on, we’ve got to hold on
Don’t let me die alone
