from Song A Week, Volume 3 by James Tristan Redding

about

Co-written with Erin Wolf.

lyrics

The woman to my left let out a sigh
I felt it in a way she’ll never know
Lifting up my eyes all I want to know is why
You put us all here down below

An old man on my right is sipping gin
Slowly like he doesn’t give a damn
The scent is sinking in, I know that everybody sins
But can you save the broken being that I am

Why’d you pick a sinner like me
There’s a million better choices as far as I can see
I’m just another soul saying please come make me whole
Help me to surrender all control

Now I see a pair of tiny hands
Fast asleep in strong and sturdy arms
I don’t need something grand, just let me understand
I just wanna feel that safe and warm

Why’d you pick a sinner like me
There’s a million better choices as far as I can see
I’m just another soul saying please come make me whole
Help me to surrender all control

Is anybody out there
Are my questions coming through
With all this noise around me
I need to turn to you
