"Common Grace" 

Don't point that in my direction
Can't you see that I'm helping?
Only loving, only making my invention

I made a point to be cautious
I put the words in a form that
Wrapped the point in
Something soft, an invitation
To the place where we can launch
A winged migration

I came to set you free
This place is killing me
But I will be your guide
And I won't ever die

We are the love I need
And we are building speed
You have a common grace
I see it in your face

I'm glaring at the denial
It's hard to be on the side of
Every full-grown and rejected angry child

I'd like to make a suggestion
That when you talk to a nation
Anyone who dares to fly above the clouds
must show his cracks and
bear the strain of heavy weather

There is no perfect guide
There's just a voice inside
It may not tell you why
But It won't ever die

We are the love I need
And we are building speed
You have a common grace
It's written in your face

Can a simple melody
Expose a travesty?
We've got a better choice
Gotta find our voice

(repeat chorus)
