A Mighty Thing Lyrics by Amy Ray

If It All Goes South

2022

[Verse 1]
Don't fear the gun, fear the man
That's what they taught me when I was young
Don't hate the sinner, hate the sin
I add it up, it don't make sense
[Chorus]
They dipped my head into the holy well
To save me from the fires of Hell
Sayin', "Jesus died so you could shine"
You can't beat that deal
[Verse 2]
They say walk your talk, but when I walk
I stumble on what I say
How can my words be mightier
When my fear gets in the way?
[Chorus]
They dipped my head into the holy well
I held my breath I was scared as hell
Jesus died so I could shine
You can't beat that deal
[Bridge]
But the boyfriend at the football game
The teacher at the gym
They taught me how to hate myself
How could I shine? I cannot win
[Verse 3]
There's a battle cry for my insides
My moral compass, it is a mess
I'm bound to find out in the end
That I failed their doggone test
[Chorus]
They dipped my head into the holy well
They couldn't save me from myself
If Jesus died so I could shine
How come my light, it grows so dim
[Outro]
I fear the gun, I fear the man
Oh, my insides I fear especially
I fear the boy walkin' down my road
Even though I know he fears me
Because a bullet is a mighty thing
A teacher is a mighty thing
