Division
M. Ostermeier Lyrics

I've been cursed since birth and now I'm looking for a church
The singer has had a difficult life and is now seeking a place of solace

I'm ready to dive in head first but it seems like the pulpit is reversed
The singer is eager to embrace spirituality, but finds a sinister force leading the worship

As I walked into the church it struck me as odd at first
Upon entering the church, something felt off to the singer

Until I realized the devil was leading the service and everyone was knee deep in worship
The congregation is under the influence of evil despite their belief in the divine

Now take me to church
The singer yearns for a genuine place of worship

Till this day I still walk by faith but weight of the load gets heavy some days
The burden of faith can be overwhelming for the singer despite their continued belief

I'm tired
The singer is exhausted from the trials and tribulations they have faced

Wait a minute
The singer pauses to reflect on their circumstances

Give me a second to ask the ultimate question
The singer is seeking answers to the most important questions in life

Does God even still reside in the church
The singer questions the presence of the divine in places of worship

Take me to church.
The singer continues to long for a true place of worship

I'm tired of fighting
The singer is weary from struggling in life

I'm tired of surviving
The singer is exhausted from merely enduring life's difficulties

One day at a time I'm sitting here slowly dying
The constant stress and negative experiences are slowly wearing the singer down

Gotta start living start remembering faith is what we're born with God made the playing field even
The singer realizes that faith is innate and that everyone has an equal chance to succeed

So what you gonna do with what you've been given
The singer acknowledges that everyone has been given gifts and must decide how to use them

I'll admit it at times walking by faith becomes a burden
The singer acknowledges that faith can be a difficult path to walk

The challenge is enormous it's a difficult calling I'm feeling like I'm falling
The singer recognizes the difficulty of staying on the path of faith and feels shaky at times

Losing my faith
The singer is struggling to hold onto their belief in difficult times

Doubt written all over my face
The singer is visibly struggling with doubts about their faith

But if a mustard seed can move mountains I'm guessing my mind is Jedi Minded
The singer draws strength from the idea that even small acts of faith can have a big impact

I remember the days I was just surviving living was non existent
The singer reminisces about a time when merely surviving was their main concern

Now sitting in this booth searching for the truth got me thinking
The singer is in a contemplative mood and is searching for answers

Do I have to choose a denomination of religious organizations only concerned with my spending contributions
The singer questions the focus of many religious organizations on monetary contributions

This is why I don't want to be associated not even affiliated with religion so tired of the division
The singer is tired of the divisiveness often associated with religious organizations and wants no part of it

God is love a spiritual bond peace love music united we stand divided we continue falling
The singer believes that true spirituality is about love and unity

Damn tithes have become so expensive for no other reason than having your leaders riding around in Beamers, Benz and Bentleys
The singer is critical of the high cost of many churches, which seems to primarily benefit the leaders rather than the congregation

Showing off the glow the freeze of the Rollie on the wrist
The singer is critical of church leaders flaunting their wealth and luxury items

While you and the kids are at risk starving
The singer sees a disconnect between the luxury of church leaders and the struggles of the congregation

And have no choice but to beg and plead the government for public assistance
The singer sees the government as a last resort for those in need, rather than the church helping its own

Can you feel it
The singer wants to draw attention to the negative consequences of the church's actions

The eerie stillness
The singer observes a negative and ominous atmosphere

These churches busy becoming businesses by dirty business men
The singer observes that some churches are becoming more about money and business than faith and spirituality

Profits over Prophets get it
The singer sees an unfortunate shift in some churches' priorities towards money over spirituality

Do I really need a religious leader to validate me as if he's gonna open up the gates for me
The singer questions the role of religious leaders in granting access to the divine

Nah I know my worth I'm God's son
The singer asserts their own value and connection to the divine without the validation of a religious leader

A survivor who only gets stronger no time to be weak in a world that only grows colder
The singer sees themselves as a survivor and must continue to grow and maintain their strength in a challenging world

We can sit here in this condition crying in this position till we're blue in the face
The singer acknowledges that complaining and suffering without action won't lead to change

But until we as a race and no I'm not talking about the color of your face
The singer seeks unity among all people, regardless of race

Until we decide to run this master race why don't we all pull up a chair and talk face to face
The singer urges people to come together and communicate in order to overcome problems

Spread the love
The singer believes that love is the key to solving many of the world's problems

That could be our only saving grace
The singer believes that love could be the only solution to the problems facing humanity

We have to strive to vibrate to our highest frequencies
The singer advocates for spiritual growth and development in order to reach one's fullest potential

Start finding our inner peace and stop chasing that shit we ain't never gonna need
The singer believes that true happiness and fulfillment comes from within, not from material possessions

We supposed to be looking out for one another man
The singer believes that people should be helping and supporting one another

Not taking advantage of each other
The singer believes that people should treat each other with respect and not exploit one another

Unity is all we need
The singer believes that unity is the key to overcoming division and strife

we gotta start vibrating to our highest frequencies
The singer reiterates that spiritual growth and development is essential to living a fulfilling life
