Babel

cuz I know that time has numbered my days
And I'll go along with everything you say

But I'll ride home laughing,
look at me now
The walls of my town,
they come crumbling down

And my ears hear the call
of my unborn sons
And I know their choices color all I've done

But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son,
I never lived a year better spent in love

Cuz I know my weakness know my voice,
so now believe in grace and choice
And I know perhaps my heart is farce,
but I'll be born without a mask
Woo!

Like the city that nurtured
my greed and my pride,
I stretch my arms into the sky

I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now
Then the walls of my town,
they come crumbling down

You ask where will
we stand in the winds that will howl,
As all we see will slip into the cloud

So come down from your mountain
and stand where we've been,
you know our breath
is weak and our body thin

Press my nose up
to the glass around your heart

I should've known
I was weaker from the start
You'll build your walls
and I will play my bloody part
To tear, tear them down

Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down
Cuz I know my weakness know my voice,
but I believe in grace and choice

And I know perhaps my heart is farce,
but I'll be born without a mask
