Father, don´t blame us for trying to live
For trying to love, for wanting more
Father, don´t blame us for trying to bleed
Like real human beings and nothing more

Why did you dress our pleasure up as greed?
While you´re limiting our love, taking sunlight from the seed?
Why did you give us hearts we don´t understand
Like an apple in our hand that you´ll never let us have?

And I hear you don´t like it
I don´t care if you don´t

Father, don´t blame us for trying to live
For trying to love, for wanting more
Father, don´t blame us for trying to bleed
Like real human beings and nothing more

Oh, do you envy how I´m free?
How the life in me is real, running barefoot through the fields?

Oh, does it hurt how I don´t look at you with fear?
Do you like to watch me kneel, ´cause the way it makes you feel?

And I hear you don´t like it
I don´t care if you don´t

Father, don´t blame us for trying to live
For trying to love, for wanting more
Father, don´t blame us for trying to bleed
Like real human beings and nothing more

You can burn the skin I live in
But you cannot burn the witch away
