letra de tongue tied by the word of the faith - nina kinert

i was born in late september, the darkness pushed in
but as far as i can remember ,they said god let the light in
to our table where nothing stood out as strange or unkind
but i kept being on the look out
knew there was something else to find

a man stopped me on stairs of marble, said he sensed what a gift
i’ve been given for future marvel, i felt who am i to insist
but my daddy he told me something: i had to feel it in me
no fool could tell me, a fourteen something
no fool would own what i’ll be

so i wondered how other people come to grow, come to thrive
like spiral steps up church bell steeples, the guilt of being alive
i’m not asking him: come to save me
but may god shine his light, like a kiss or as if he forgave me
for always choosing the night

spent my time, spent my time in awe of the faith
words went by, tongue tied by the word of the faith
temptress, don’t know by the look in their eyes
now hide away, you represent the floods and the fires
left us all carrying the weight of the world
with all due respect, tongue-tied up until he return
left us all carrying the weight of the world
with all due respect, i’ll waith outside until he returns

speak in tongues or lipsyncing the nineties rung
telling me i’m sinking back
the music can take me far away some days
but no grace will be shown for those who won’t show
in church on sundays, yeah
