sojourner - nate emmanuel lyrics

[intro]
please pray for my friend, the sojourner

[verse]
i’m a drunk, i’m a mourner, i’m a thief
a sojourner on a corner with a fleece
i seen a chief drink water with the least
same as i seen them preachers flaunting in the streets
i’ve seen war with the tattoos to prove it
bad scars and memories, gat wounds and bruises
warn those offending me, teflon is useless
warn those defending me, “get gone”, i’m clueless
i’ve seen the lord, and that proved confusing
i’ve read his word but why can’t i choose him
it’s like a sword in the hollow of my hand
but i dare not follow, so i swallow it instead
floating on brainwaves, a bottle in my head
i feel more empty than a bottle by my bed
crushed cans everywhere, a bottle in my hand
i might just drink this dirty water till i’m dead
pride, liquor, and cigarettes
bitter threats and idle curses
these things just don’t seem to mix well
in minds triggered by violent urges
what? no question i’m saved, don’t question my faith
with blind opinions and bible verses
i know i’m enslaved, this whole world is depraved
but i’m serving a higher purpose
while i vomit the cold drink of a lying serpent
till my clothes stink like a vile urchin
i sow the wind and my soul reaps the wild whirlwind
i’m so winded from soul seeking, my life is worthless
in no season for women, with no reason for living
i’m tweaked, so keep the fire burning
i hate living this way, i shake when i’m awake
but face it, i know i deserve it

“forget the world!”
that’s my survival sermon
but thank the lord for sending the messiahs servants
