lyrics

Change my name, paint my face
Bring me wine sweet to my taste
Give me coins, show me power
Threaten me; I will not cower

You do not define me
Mold me and refine me
You constantly remind me
I do not belong to you

Dress me up; push me around
For you, these knees will never touch the ground
Strip me bare; peel my skin
You cannot scratch the soul within

You will not defile me
Ravage and revile me
Your ways aren't so beguiling
I do not belong to you

Set the fire, toss me in
I will not bow; I won't give in
Find a pit, and throw me down
I'll sleep with lions and still won't bow

Bind my hands; chain my feet
I don't surrender; I don't retreat
I'm prepared to pay the cost
Nail me backwards to a cross

I do not belong to you

Come use and abuse me
You may execute me
Hang, behead, or shoot me
I do not belong to you

The Light Has Come

This band/couple is amazing. The harmonies are gorgeous. The songs are beautiful. You don't want to miss out on something so good. (Plus they helped me record and produce my album!) Dana J. Moore
