Moriah Lyrics

I hear you calling my name

From the bottom of the stairs

But I'm tangled up in sissy's clothes

That I know I shouldn't wear

Yeah, you like me in short hair

You send me to school in my uniform

Studying the king who could calm the storm

Talk about miracles but what am I

If I've gotta hide

If I've gotta hide who I am

Take this child

Up to the mountain

Bind her hands and feet

To the pyre

Raise the knife

Your heart is pounding

Turn my head and cry

As we whisper goodbye

Because there's no coming back

No, there's no coming back

From Moriah

From Moriah

No, there's no coming back

No, there's no coming back

From Moriah

From Moriah

I washed my hair on Christmas Day

And I let it down to dry

On that 40 minute drive

Told me not to let the children see

As if a hair tie and some lies

Could protect their little eyes

You said I was knit together in my mother's womb

Fearfully and wonderfully

But if that's true

Why can't you just love me

For the girl I am?

Because it's who I am

To the Great I AM

But instead

You take this child

Up to the mountain

Bind her hands and feet

To the pyre

Raise the knife

Your heart is pounding

Turn my head and cry

As we whisper goodbye

Because there's no coming back

No, there's no coming back

From Moriah

From Moriah

No, there's no coming back

No, there's no coming back

From Moriah

From Moriah

You take this child

Up to the mountain

Bind her hands and feet

To the pyre

Raise the knife

Your heart is pounding

Turn my head and cry

As we whisper goodbye

Because there's no coming back

No, there's no coming back

From Moriah

From Moriah

No, there's no coming back

No, there's no coming back

From Moriah

From Moriah
