Redemption
Blessid Union Of Souls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've seen the shadows
Of the corners of my mind
And I go there all the time
Am I missing what I might like

I've tasted sin
And it knocked my off my feet
Like a girl I should not meet
But, oh it tasted sweet
To me

And it turned me around
Now I can't hear the sound of my soul

Right where I am
I'm going crazy
Right where I am
I've gone too far
Right where I stand
I plead my case to you
I need redemption

I felt the darkness
Of the places I have been
Things I should not have seen
Now there's nothing left to believe

My innocence
Is something of my past
Guess I knew it would not last
I was chosen by this path
To live

And it turned me around
Now I can't hear the cry of my soul

Right where I am
I hope you'll save me
Right where I am
Have I gone too far
Right where I stand
I hide my face from you
I need redemption

Right where I am
I can't explain how
I got where I am
I am not so proud
Right where I stand
I need to face this truth
I need redemption

I've seen the end
Of all my tears
I'll waste not another day on this
And in the end

I've seen the shadows
Of the corners of my mind
Now I can't hear the cry

Right where I am
I'm going crazy
Right where I am
I've gone too far
Right where I stand
I plead my case to you
I need redemption

Right where I am
I'm going crazy
Right where I am
I've gone too far




Right where I am
I hope you'll save me
