Listening To Freddy Mercury
Emery Lyrics

Every once in a while I think I'm lying.
I sometimes question if what I'm saying is true.

Take it to the bank. I believe every word I say. (This just isn't how, this just isn't how)
I'm confident in what I say, but sometimes doubt creeps in.

Then again this is when you start your prying. (This just isn't how, this just isn't how)
But when others question me, it makes me doubt even more.

But there's a thought it could be true.
Despite my doubts, I still have a hope that what I'm saying is true.

But this just isn't how I imagined it would be.
I didn't expect to be questioned about such personal matters when I express my beliefs.

With these random people just asking the most personal things.
People often pry into my personal life and beliefs without any relationship or context.

And to think that somehow I could always come clean.
I used to believe I could always be honest and open, but now I'm not so sure.

And you shake your head just like you know what I mean.
I see others nodding along, as if they too have experienced this kind of doubt and questioning.

You're a Christian tell the sinner find repentance it's your last chance.
As a Christian, I'm supposed to convince sinners to repent before it's too late.

You believer, where's your patience?
But sometimes I struggle with being patient and understanding with those who don't believe the same as me.

Answer questions, put on faces.
I often have to pretend to be someone I'm not and answer questions in a way that will please others.

What about God? For you and for me.
But ultimately, I still believe in God and that he is important for all of us.

All have fallen short (To see if it's right or wrong to listen to this song.
We all have our faults and flaws, and this song may not be suitable for everyone.

I don't want you too. To see if you're okay with all the words I say.
I don't want to force anyone to listen to this song or agree with everything I say.

It can't be this way)
But I still feel compelled to express my thoughts and beliefs through my music.

Somehow, someone is more equal than others.
We often judge others based on their words and actions, even though we should all be equal.

Depending on the words we choose to say.
Our words have power and can contribute to creating divisions and inequalities.

A glance at her too long tonight.
Even small actions like staring for too long can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts.

But everything I am saying is right in your ears.
Despite these challenges, I still believe that what I'm saying is true and important to be shared.

We are all the sisters and the brothers.
Despite our differences, we are all connected and should treat each other with love and respect.

Until we find we don't believe the same, like...
However, when we discover that we don't share the same beliefs or values, conflicts can arise.

Gary is getting drunk to forget Sarah.
Examples of how people try to cope with their problems and struggles.

Sarah is stealing money from her parents.

Aaron is lying straight to Jon.

About Megan and the things that went on.

Jessica is a gossip, Laura is a slut.

Derrick hits Bridget and Ben deals drugs.

Seth spends all his money gambling.

Joey stopped praying.

It is all the same thing.
These struggles all come from the same brokenness and need for redemption.

We are all the same people.

With sinning hearts that make us equal.
Our flaws and mistakes make us all equal and in need of grace.

Here is my hand, not words said desperately.
I offer my support and help, not just empty words or pity.

It is not our job to make anyone believe
But ultimately, we cannot force others to believe or agree with us - that is up to them.
