lyrics

When I was younger, you filled this head with ideas
But all you said had been written in stone
When I knelt down each day I pestered you as I prayed
But I never knew my words were not my own
Now I look up in the sky, I see your face among the clouds
Fading as the day turns night
And if you were looking down
Oh, I'd be sure to stand my ground
Cuz your last lamb been sacrificed
When you were with me, I felt so out of place
All you noticed was the smile upon my face
When I tried to take a stand, I felt the back of your hand
So I learned about the law but not the grace
So now I look up in the sky, I see your face among the clouds
Forbidding as the day turns night
And if you were looking down
Not so sure that you'd be proud,
But your last lamb been sacrificed
All the times that I thought I needed someone
Begging me to stay, I should have taken leave
Will I ever be free of the demons that you conjured up for me?
Sometimes I still hear echoes of your voice
Pullin’ me back to mistakes I have made
But I finally found a way
To take it day by day,
Every moment of my life reclaimed!
Now I look up in the sky, find only peace among the clouds
Settled as the day turns night
If you could be here now you'd know I'd made it through somehow
The past has finally come to light (last lamb’s been sacrificed)
I’m on a path to finally make things right (last lamb’s been sacrificed)
Oh the last lamb been sacrificed
