“Roadkill” – Lyrics

Roadkill

I feel like roadkill today
Like I’m devoured by everything
But you’re telling me you love me more than lilies
More than anything

I feel unworthy as a snail
Dragging myself through this hell
But you’re telling me you love me more than sparrows
More than anything

And have you see a lily lately?
The way she blooms
Even after years of fire and ice
And have you heard the sparrow’s song?
The way he sings and carries on
He carries on
On and on
About his Maker
On and on
About the One who loves him

I feel like there has got to be
Some kind of light that’s in me
Cause you’re telling me you love me more than lilies
More than anything

And have you see a lily lately?
The way she blooms
Even after years of fire and ice
And have you heard the sparrow’s song?
The way he sings and carries on
He carries on
On and on
About his Maker
On and on
About the One who loves him
