Young Disciple - Lady Lamb

Aly, what is incessantly on your mind?

Well when I was 5, my mama told me that one day we’re all gonna die

Of all places, it was in a fast food joint at night

That left me with a bad taste in my mouth and a knack for existential spinning

out

«How'd that come to pass?»

You may ask, as the full moon seemed to leer and loom

Well on the stage of a church in a kiddie pool, she and my dad were born again

I was an audience member beside my little sister and I didn’t understand

And they were my age then, the age that I am

So I guess I get it better now

Oh, the pangs of fear, the fear of being alone

Of dying young or growing old

Before realizing the purpose of your soul

It was with a milkshake in her hand, that my mama mentioned a second coming

That as believers, we would be lifted to a brilliant kingdom in the sky

And I couldn’t fathom a place of light high above the desert night

But as an impassioned follower of my beautiful mother

I put all of my faith in her

You and I, we both swing in and out of fear for the future

We lean into the sky, we’re looking for the answers

You and I, we both swing in and out of fear for the future

We lean into the sky, we’re looking for the answers

I can see a romance in the reaching, and a tenderness in believing

We lean into the sky, we’re looking for the answers, yeah, but

Mama, you didn’t inspire a heavenly desire

Just an urge to hold my life a little tighter

Just an urge to hold my life a little tighter

Just an urge to hold my life a little tighter
