I Repent

i repent of my pursuit of America's dream 

i repent of living like i deserve anything 

my house, my fence, my kids, and my wife 

in our suburb where we're safe and white 

i am wrong and of these things i repent 

i repent of parading my liberty 

i repent of paying for what i get for free 

the way i believe that i am living right 

by trading sins for others that are easier to hide 

i am wrong and of these things i repent 

i repent judging by a law that even i can't keep 

wearin righteousness like a disguise to see through 

the planks in my own eyes 

i repent of trading truth for false unity 

i repent of confusing peace and idolatry 

of caring more of what they think than what i know of what they need 

and domesticating You until You look just like me 

i am wrong and of these things i repent
