Joseph Arthur - Redemption's Son Lyrics

I don't know where we've been
Could you tell me where we are again?
And Jesus is my only friend
No one else knows who I am

I know I'll never make it on the cross
Spent my days looking for what my daddy lost
He was too proud to have a boss
Sold himself out then he couldn't afford the cost

No one knows how he felt
Hung himself in the country jail
There were those who said he would burn in hell
I don't think they knew him very well

Angel of love
Shine a light on us
I was born to be
Redemption's son

Forgive us for what we've done, Lord

I don't know were we are
Fearful eyes don't see very far
Driving in my daddy's car
Ashtray full of his cigars

Is it real what I see?
His ghost is riding next to me
'Till he's gone I won't be free
From the burden of his misery

I know I'll never make it on the cross
Spent my days looking for what my daddy lost
He was too proud to have a boss
Sold himself out then he couldn't afford the cost

All over the neighbourhood
Mostly he was misunderstood
In his heart the bad beat the good
Used to be a time I'd come in if I could

Angel of love
Send a light on us
I was born to be
Redemption's son

Angel of love
Send a light on us
I was born to be
Redemption's son

Forgive us for what we've done, Lord
