My Church Is Black

[Intro]

You're standing a long time on the shore
You try to chase away your thoughts
You want to feel the land you're looking for
You want to move, but you lost the gall
You want to pray, but you forgot the words
You lost the land you're looking for
But the first steps are in your heart
Some answers come from tears and from the
And all the signs are in the heart
Sometimes you must close your eyes
To see
Who you are
