If My Baby like Me Lyrics

I used to believe that God was this big man in the sky

And that all of the angels were these beautiful men and women

With these giant white wings and glowing golden halos

And every night that I was scared

I would pray, and I'd ask for protection from all the evils of the world

And I would imagine all the angels coming into my room

And building like an impenetrable dome around me

And I'd picture that in my head, and I'd think, I'm safe

Even if just for tonight, I'm safe

I don't know if I believe in the same God that I used to believe in

Da-da-da-da da-ya da, I'm afraid if my baby like me he won't cry

Growing up seeing his dad keep it inside

Da-da-da-da da-ya da, I'm afraid if my baby like me he won't cry

Maybe he'll be the one to realize why we have this little life

I know that one day I'll die

I wanna leave behind my body and mind, my body and spirit

Please tell me if you can hear it, if you can hear me

Not only did we do it, but we did it in time, we did it in time, it'll be alright

And every little thing's gonna be okay

Every little kid's gonna grow up great

Every little problem's gonna go away

And even though I'm wrong, I'm here today

Even though my song is a little gray

Even though my love comes a little late

Da-da-da-da da-ya da, I'm afraid if my baby like me he won't cry

Growing up seeing his dad keep it inside

Da-da-da-da da-ya da, I'm afraid if my baby like me he won't cry

Maybe he'll be the one to realize why we have this little life

I won't let them forget it

They need to know that I existed

So many other people, so many other people, so many others they missed it

So many with nothing to fall for, tell me about something we can be all for

I wanna be the one that you love down here and above, are you hearing my voice now?

The God that I believe in now is more like wind than man

A wind that affects all of our lives

In the same way that the wind affects the leaves on the trees and the water in the ocean

A wind that leads us to where we need to be

A wind that's always present

A wind that you can ask questions to, and while you may not hear a response

The winds may change to reflect a next step or a new path ahead

A wind that doesn't always give you an answer

But one that always, always gives you an opportunity to find your own
