I saw you hanging on the wall
Rusted and gathering dust
A symbol of love and understanding
A lone figure, just like on the cross
CHORUS:
Do you have to die again
For me to understand
What you mean to me
And what I mean to you
My feet burn on hallowed ground
Even though I'm thinking of you
The WhirlPools swirl around my feet
A holy man's tears comfort me
And some men say that God is dead
Some men say that God is dead
And sometimes I believe them
And sometimes I laugh at them
Because the rosary beads are worn
And no one is praying at his feet
CHORUS...
The peace dove flies above my head
A merciful man died for me
But the stained glass windows
And the holy water condemning me
I guess I just don't understand
Just a confused young man
That no picture, no book
No statue, no man
Can help me understand
What it means to be born again
