I was raised by a raging sun
Made in the image of a holy one
Now that you know how I got my start
You can see how far from the tree
It seems my apple has dropped
Trapped in an image that I thought I destroyed
Beneath the raging sun I found my choices
Don't disregard what must be regarded
Change is the fix for the brokenhearted
My mama's been praying for my direction
While I've been demanding some redemption
Before I knew, I knew you
I was trying to dilute you
Wrapped up in arms like a tired dog
Asking myself what I was doing wrong
A stranger in the strangest of lands
Search out your answer while you've got the chance
There is a fever that is burning bright
Don't waste the smallest little shade of light
Don't be afraid there is nothing to fear
I see it in your eyes, you are safe my dear
Darkness tries it's best to surround you
Sticks and stones do their best to destroy you
Before I knew, I knew you
I was trying to delude you
Wrapped up in arms like a tired dog
Asking myself what I was doing wrong
I was raised by the raging sun
Made in the image of a holy one
