Four Word Letter (pt. Two) Lyrics - Singles - Me Without You

I wrote a four word letter with post-script in crooked lines 

"Though I'd lived I'd never been alive" 

You know who I am, you held my hem as I traveled blind 

Listening to the whispering in my ear soft but getting stronger 

Telling me only purpose of my being here is to stay a bit longer 

Stealing a bicycle chain 

As the handlebars crashed to the ground 

The back wheel detached from the frame 

Kept rolling, yeah, but aimlessly drifting around 

Oh, doubters, let's go down 

Let's go down, won't you come on down? 

Oh doubters, let's go down 

Down to the river to pray? 

"Oh, but I'm so small, I can barely be seen 

How can this great love be inside of me?" 

Look at your eyes, they're small in size 

But they see enormous things 

Wearing black canvas slippers in our frog-on-a-lily-pad pose 

We sewed buttons and zippers to Chinese pink silk 

And olive night clothes if you can someday stop by somehow 

We'll show you the pictures and fix you some tea 

See my dad's getting a bit older now and just unimaginably lonely 

Oh, pretenders, let's go down 

Let's go down, won't you come on down? 

Oh, pretenders, let's go down 

Down to the river to pray? 

Oh, but I'm so afraid or I'm set in my ways 

But He'll make the rabbits and rocks sing His praise 

"Oh, but I'm too tired, I won't last long" 

No, He'll use the weak to overcome the strong 

Oh, Amanda, let's go down 

Let's go down, won't you come on down? 

Mama, Nana, let's go down 

Down in the dirt by the river to pray 

You strike the match, why not be utterly changed by fire 

To sacrifice the shadow and the mist 

Of a brief life you never much liked 

So if you'd care to come along 

We're gonna curb all our never-ending clever complaining 

As who's ever heard of a singer criticized by his song? 

We hunger, but though all that we eat brings us little relief 

We don't know quite what else to do 

We have all our beliefs but we don't want our beliefs 

God of peace, we want You
