Lover Lyrics - Singles - Derek Webb

Like a man comes to an altar, I came into this town 

With the world upon my shoulders and promises passed down 

And I went into the water and my father, he was pleased 

Oh I built it and I? ll tear it down, so you will be set free 

Yes, and I found thieves and salesmen, living in my father? s house 

And I know how they got in here and I know how to get? em out 

You see, I? m turning this place over from the floor to balcony 

And then, just like these doves and sheep, oh, you will be set free 

? Cause I have always been a lover from before I drew a breath 

Well and somethings I loved easy, some I love to death 

'Cause love? s no politician, no it listens carefully 

So of those who come, I can? t lose one 

So you will be set free, oh, you will be set free

I go on and take my picture, go on and make me up 

Oh, I? ll still be your defender, you? ll be my missing son 

Oh and I? ll send out an army just to bring you back to me 

? Cause regardless of your brothers? lies, oh, you will be set free 

Photos 

Because I am my beloved? s and my beloved? s mine 

So, you bring all your history, I? ll bring the bread and wine 

Oh and we? ll have us a party oh where all the drinks are on me 

And as surely as the rising sun, oh, you will be set free 

Oh, you will be set free
