I Repent

I repent, I repent of my pursuit of America's dream

I repent, I repent of living like I deserve anything

Of my house, my fence, my kids, my wife

In our suburb where we're safe and white

I am wrong and of these things I repent

I repent, I repent of parading my liberty

I repent, I repent of paying for what I get for free

And for the way I believe that I am living right

By trading sins for others that are easier to hide

I am wrong and of these things I repent

I repent judging by a law that even I can't keep

Of wearing righteousness like a disguise

To see through the planks in my own eyes

I repent, I repent of trading truth for false unity

I repent, I repent of confusing peace and idolatry

By caring more of what they think than what I know of what we need

By domesticating you until you look just like me

I am wrong and of these things I repent
