We've Come to Our Senses Lyrics

We've come to our senses, regained control

Two thousand years of doing only what we're told

Imagine where we'd be without your condescension

Give up your moral certitude, stop selling us protection

You erected first this artifice, then commanded us to pray

Just give us back our freedom - there's nothing more to say

He needn't lead us from the wilderness

He needn't draw us to the fold

He needn't walk upon the water

To make our spirits whole

He needn't bring about a miracle

Nor famine, scourge, or blight

Love is everpresent

In the fabric of his life

We've come to our senses, regained control

Two thousand years of doing only what we're told

Imagine where we'd be without your condescension

Give up your moral certitude, stop selling us protection

You erected first this artifice, then commanded us to pray

Just give us back our freedom - there's nothing more to say

He needs to tear apart this artifice

And learn to hold his ground

To rend the cloth into the earth

And bring the temple down

There is no lure of paradise

No tacit threat of hell

Nothing less than freedom

Shall ever make us well

We've come to our senses, regained control

Two thousand years of doing only what we're told

Imagine where we'd be without your condescension

Give up your moral certitude, stop selling us protection

You erected first this artifice, then commanded us to pray

Just give us back our freedom - there's nothing more to say
