Righteous Seed Lyrics

The picketer told us
"Don't kill your kid"
In another world we didn't
But in this one we did
The drunk words of the jesus freak made me dream about our baby
The blunt force of a man's belief makes me dream of what we may be

I held your hand as our girl was born
She had your mouth and she had my eyes
We taught her to sing and how to play piano
By your side
I held your hand
By you side
I stood like a man
We raised up our righteous seed to heaven
We raised up our righteous seed together

The picketer told us
Don't kill your kid
In another world we didn't
But in this one we did
The drunk words of the jesus freak made me think about our baby
The blunt force of a man's belief makes me dream of what we may be

By your side as our boy was born
We've lost our new little glistening friend
Not in love
Never in love
No longer even lovers
Still I held your hand as a friend
Still I stood by you as a friend
We raised up a righteous seed to heaven
We raised up our righteous seed together

The picketer told us
Don't kill your kid
In another world we didn't
But in this one we did
The drunk words of the jesus freak made me think about our baby
The blunt force of a man's belief makes me dream of what we buried

God knows we did no wrong
But something has died
Thank we have the choice
Cause something has died
I'm by your side if you need to cry

God knows we did no wrong
But something has died
Thank we have the choice
Cause something has died
I'm by your side if you need to cry
I'm by your side if you need to cry
I'm by your side if you need to cry

I'm by your side if you need to cry
