Love Letters To God

Oh, love letters to God
I wonder if she reads them or if they get lost
In the stars, stars
In the stars

So many parts to a heavy heart
If there's no beginning
Then where would you start?
Start, start, where would you start?

Give, always give what you can
Even if your allies draw lines in the sand
And give, always dig a little deeper
Sometimes it's hard to be my brother's keeper
Love, so you let love in
Baby, I am home in the wave of your skin
And it's crazy how we wear our ceremony
Always be open to your path and your journey

Yes, she cradles my loneliness
A home in a forest nest
Universal test
Feel the weight of my love
Put your hand to my chest and rest
In the cradle of my arms
The battle that we face is the place where our scars come from
And to pick up the gun
My love, we are destined to teach these ones to be brave
And never run away
Courage is birthed from the womb
On the first light of day
Yeah the day you were born
You came out perfect never meant to be torn

And silence, never been so loud
And the violence, never been so proud of a people
We're all fightin' for a change
Not afraid to lose it all despite all the rage
We are animals and we cannot be caged
Provoked us to fight
So we burn a little sage and write poetry
Wiser than the enemy will ever be
The minority, an authority
Are you here to protect or arrest me?
Can't tolerate the hate and we're losing sleep
Can't breathe cause they're choking out a war in me
Immorality

Oh, letters to God
I wonder if she reads them or if they get lost
In the stars, stars
In the stars

So many parts to a heavy heart
If there's no beginning
Then where would you start?
Start, start, where would you start?

Human souls, so we carve 'em in the story totem poles
'Cause we always searching for a certain goal
A pattern of physics, a role
Don't believe all you're told, and open
Open up your fist
A misconception, you can fight like this
And praise with the power of prayer
If God's on our side we can take the stairs
To the heavens
Flippin' through my chapter seven
I live with the snakes and the great deception
No court, in this country for men
Who steal from the mother on paper with pen
And we're trippin, down a red dirt road
And we're asking, is this the way we should go?
Kissin, soft top feet of my goddess
We'll walk the earth
Baby, yeah, we got this
Focus, and it's redirected
Grateful, and I'm resurrected
Stubborn, but I know the way
You're the skin on my drums
To your rhythms I will sway

Take my hand, I won't lead you astray
We will not go gently into the darkest of days
Grandma's here, and she says persevere
Take a walk in her mocs, taste the trail of tears
And our fears are the same as they ever were
Beers, numb the pain of the holocaust years
Always mobbing in motion
Maybe, baby be an island or an ocean
Your arches, how they bend and contract in my conscience
Never slip through the grip of my thesis
And my theory is I shine in your presence
Of deliverance

Oh, letters to God
I wonder if she reads them or if they get lost
In the stars, stars
In the stars

So many parts to a heavy heart
If there's no beginning
Then where would you start?
Start, start, where would you start?
