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
