Here I go again, holding on to you
I shoulda brought a length of rope
So I could hang myself out to dry
My eyes are so wet

We're walking back to Jesus
But you know that I don't feel his love as deeply as you do
He could have saved my family
At times I think you just forget

Mother Mary will you hold my hand
And say it's alright now
Father God will you touch my head
And say it's alright now
If it is, if it is

Your hand across my mouth could be useful now
Oh, you should have got me bound and gagged
Or beaten, doped up and confused
I shouldn't say such things

We both know where we're going
So it's not like you need me to shoot my dirty mouth off
Jesus let me down and I should take it up with him

Mother Mary will you hold my hand
And say it's alright now
Father God will you touch my head
And say it's alright now
If it is, if it is

I'm not your only son
But I'm equal to whichever one you compare me to
And I'm not your only son
But I'm equal to whichever one you compare me to

So here I go again and I'm holding on to you
I shoulda brought a length of rope
So I could hang myself out to dry
My eyes are so wet

We're walking back to Jesus
But you know that I don't feel his love as deeply as you do
You could have saved my family
At times I start to think and then I just forget

Mother Mary will you hold my hand
And say it's alright now
Father God will you touch my head
And say it's alright now
If it is, we all wanna know if it is
