lyrics

This cyclone feels personal
Like I’ve done something wrong
To deserve this catastrophe
And the damage that it’s done

This fruit tree feels personal
Like of course I am loved
And deserve its provision
Shaken down from above

But this world has no preference
For the wicked or the good
Both blessing and disaster
Visit every neighborhood
Justice and mercy
Meted out with blindness
And our noblest pursuits
May not be met with kindness

We’re beggars all
We’re royals too
It seems there’s no God
But I still believe he cares for you

Imagine a universe
Of instant reward
A world where each sin
Is punished with the sword

If God is patient
If growth takes time
Maybe it means a system
Where there’s accident and crime

Cause this world is a prison
But we’ll all be set free
By the grace of a god
Of both poor and bourgeois
Cause life is a spectrum
Of manifold colors
Who is the heretic?
And who’s the believer?

Cause we’re sinners all
And we’re also chosen
To receive from God’s hand
Discipline and devotion

Yes, we’re beggars all
But we’re royals too
It seems there’s no God
But I believe he cares for you
