[Verse 1] I read the doctor's story late last night in bed Of the preacher and the teacher and the prostitute I never would've seen myself in her shoes But the list of all the things she's done rang so true [Pre-Chorus 1] I am the luckiest one I've faced no fire and I've faced no gun So why do I still feel like I'm so far gone? [Chorus 1] A cleansing fire, a cleansing rain We all need to start over again Without a past but with an amputation [Verse 2] It's hate, deceit, and cancer It's the spreading of disease Past and present, thieves and liars Now and formerly It's the greatest lie ever told In the greatest story ever told And it makes my soul sick But my body is weak So it's killing me [Pre-Chorus 2] I thought I was bulletproof once So I tried the taste of sin on my tongue Just a little bit, then a little more, and I was gone [Chorus 2] A cleansing fire, a cleansing rain We all need to start over again Without a past but with an amputation A cleansing fire, a cleansing flood To wash both of my hands of your blood I need to see what forgiveness really means Another sun, another day A chance to start all over again So awake my soul with the sunrise (Awake, awake, rise up!) [Bridge] There's no way I understand completely I'm streets-behind even knowing one percent of it About birth and death and birth again And all these earthly things I've bought into lies with my life not well spent [Chorus 3] A cleansing fire, a cleansing rain We all need to start over again Without a past but with an amputation A cleansing fire, a cleansing rain We all need to start over again Without a past but with an amputation A cleansing fire, a cleansing rain We all need to start over again Without these past lives, without these limbs Without these past lives, without these limbs [Outro] Hallelujah Hallelu
