Текст песни Lover - Derek Webb

Like a man comes to an altar, I came into this town
With the world upon my shoulders and promises passed down
And I went into the water and my father, he was pleased
Oh I built it and I? ll tear it down, so you will be set free

Yes, and I found thieves and salesmen, living in my father? s house
And I know how they got in here and I know how to get? em out
You see, I? m turning this place over from the floor to balcony
And then, just like these doves and sheep, oh, you will be set free

? Cause I have always been a lover from before I drew a breath
Well and somethings I loved easy, some I love to death
'Cause love? s no politician, no it listens carefully
So of those who come, I can? t lose one
So you will be set free, oh, you will be set free

I go on and take my picture, go on and make me up
Oh, I? ll still be your defender, you? ll be my missing son
Oh and I? ll send out an army just to bring you back to me
? Cause regardless of your brothers? lies, oh, you will be set free

Because I am my beloved? s and my beloved? s mine
So, you bring all your history, I? ll bring the bread and wine
Oh and we? ll have us a party oh where all the drinks are on me
And as surely as the rising sun, oh, you will be set free
Oh, you will be set free
