Lyrics

In the Blood

I dreamed you were enclosed in light
And Dad led you to the ones you’d lost

So beautiful, yes
But hardly your plan
Not like this

Your blood is still your blood

The sickened cells that grow inside
Beg you to say you just give up

It’s all academic
These hindrances that taunt your will
There’s too much left to be done now
With your time left

And maybe this all
Don’t make any sense
Don’t take it as a curse
You need to be strong
Don’t ever accept
You’re headed for the worst
You’ll never see the cause
Just take the next step
Don’t let it plague your worth
You’ll never be alone
Don’t ever think it
We all have seen the glory you wrought
Despite the hardship that you came from
And your story will long be honored
By the ones you named

Your blood is still your blood

And maybe this all
Don’t make any sense
Don’t take it as a curse
You need to be strong
Don’t ever accept
You’re headed for the worst
You’ll never be alone
Don’t ever think it

You’re tended by the source of blessed hope
