The picketer told us
"Don't kill your kid"
In another word 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 buried
I held your hand as our girl was born
She had your mouth and she had my eyes
We taught her to sing, to sing
And how to play piano
By your side I held your hand
By your side I stood like a man
We raised up a righteous seed to heaven
We raised up a righteous seed together
The picketer told us
"Don't kill your kid"
In another word 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 buried
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 a righteous seed together
The picketer told us
"Don't kill your kid"
In another word 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 buried
God knows we did no wrong
But something has died
Thank God we have a choice
But something has died
I'm by your side if you need to cry
God knows we did no wrong
But something has died
Thank God we have a choice
But 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...
