I remember when everything was black and white
And I had to know that I was always right
It was so easy then, and yet so hard
Being God's saint in man's backyard
There was no room for error in my little self-made pen
I covered all the windows to keep me free from sin
And there I studied scripture and there I often prayed
There was talking on the outside, I could not hear what was said
Why must we have all the answers?
We're human and we make mistakes
When will we learn to be ourselves?
God accepts us as we are
It's a lonely kind of life when you're the only one who's right
Others just don't understand
I try to lead the band
But no one follows
