Jack Dawkins - Salt for the Earth Lyrics

I'm exploring my relation to religion
Discern what I learned, do I need to make revisions
Do I have more wisdom, did I change my position?
I could Find a new model with more conviction?

There's no wrong turns I'm trying out a new route
Heard the devil is a lie so I pack two truths
Hidden feelings aren't safe from a soul sleuth
I'm ready to believe, I don't need any proof

I want more feeling and less story
Less about the worship and more about the glory
More about sharing and less category
More opt-in and less obligatory

You can choose to believe in the magic
Stay grounded in your heart or lost in the panic
See that the world happens for you, not to you
And know that purpose is coursing right through you

Maybe it's arrogant to ask why am I on this planet
Maybe it's crazy to claim that someone took the time to plan it
Maybe I'm wasting time trying to find truth in my body when I scan it
Maybe I can't say it's not real, just 'cuz I don't understand it

I feel it when I'm living in my purpose
When I'm sitting in the ocean, watching waves surfing
When I'm cooking with my heart, and my senses
Present in the moment, and not the other tenses

When I lead with warmth and not competence
Look inside, not outside for the confidence
Go analog, stay away from the oculus
Realize that my teacher could have been a damn octopus

Listened to songs like Blessings and Soul Shine
Moved me more than Church did the whole God damn time
See it less in stained glass more in coastlines
Find it anywhere that I feel safe with closed eyes

It's painful when I'm searching for the clarity
Ignoring that there's clearly growing levels of disparity
I see religious limits but love's expansive
Even great intentions cause a lotta damage
Maybe all my questions don't really need an answer
The train is on the tracks so do I really need a transfer
You matter cuz your human, not chosen faith
Real beauty is in your smile and your heartbreak

And I get it, no one needs me spitting platitudes
Just a human tryna find a new avenue
Associate her presence with my gratitude
Make my love a mile wide, show my heart's latitude

She speaks through me, it's like I'm God's stylus
And I make it look good, so maybe I'm God's stylist
Connected to truth, I absorb it through my Iris
Lay back on the grass, contemplate how big the sky is

I Don't know it all but I know facts
I Got gifts from God, and you can play 'em back
I Don't know it all but I know facts
I Got gifts from God, and you can play 'em back
I Don't know it all but I know facts
I Got gifts from God, and you can play 'em back
I Don't know it all but I know facts
I Got my gifts from God, and you can play 'em back
