Falling Stars (Church People)
CHORUS
A time’s gonna come when we’re taken away
What will we be coming for before that day?
You gotta have faith until the dark
Gotta let go of all the scars
Everyone needs a little spark
Let’s light it all up like falling stars
You’re confirming all the bad things I’m always believing
About myself and the Deity and all human beings
I’ve got this spiral commencing, I’ve gone from peace to despairing
I say I’m hurting but I don’t get an idea that you’re caring
Church becomes symbolic of a misery that’s deepening
Leaving me knee-deep in bleeding when I came here for healing
Family’s what they’re preaching but their lives void the meaning
My heart’s stinging, now I’m hating exactly what I’m needing
I said I was there for no one else but the Lord
Yet through this pain that I’m feeling, I’ve tried so hard to ignore
I feel His presence ever more in those six days before
He’s always with me so it’s fellowship with you I came for
Instead you’re slamming the door which hammers harder than Thor
It feels like we’ve been through war and I need to be restored
I’m not asking a lot or demanding your thoughts
It’s just intriguing where religion begins the church stops
CHORUS
Blissfully you’re praising, raising, praying then amen
You’re always greeting the same friends and I don’t know my placement
I bet someday we’ll be hanging, you’ll remember my name then
You’ll act so shocked to finally hear just what I’ve been saying
Over years it’s just the tide of many people’s opinions
If I can make it that long, I bet I’ll be welcomed in
You’ll start getting my message asking why I never mentioned
As if answers can be given in the absence of questions
I’ve dreamt that you might know me but contempt’s what you’ve shown me
I need to repent of resent and revenge that is growing
As I’m loathing all the holies dressed up in their church clothing
While a lonely lowly is holding on only for their doting
As you’re seeking out to know me, see my heart’s slowly opening
I’m taking steps toward showing who I am, grace is flowing
Take this slowly, I’m really not ready to start hoping
If you love me then you’ll show me
That’s the least that you owe me
CHORUS
