	Story Behind the Song I had been asked to play two songs at Sanctuary, by a friend who runs the program. I had my two songs all set in my mind, and then I woke up the day before. I hopped out of bed and grabbed my guitar, and the darkest, most intense riff started playing. I wrote the last chorus of the song, first. Then I put down the guitar. I went to a barbecue that afternoon, and was totally spaced out, consumed completely with the song. When I got home from the barbecue, I drank half a bottle of wine, and finished the lyrics, writing my feelings backwards from the last chorus to the beginning of the song. The recording here is live at Sanctuary, and you may notice that my D-string breaks during the first line of the first verse. Also considering that the song was a day old, I was distracted by the broken string, and my unfamiliarity with the song. A studio version will be coming shortly. Lyrics What would you tell me if we met face to face? Are your arms full of love and your heart sill full of grace? I left in anger when I walked yesterday. Can I speak to you plainly will you hear what I say? I loved my enemy, she stabbed me in the back. I turned the other cheek, and she bruised it blue and black For what I have done there is mercy to be shown Will you make up your mind or leave me alone? So make up your mind or just leave me alone. These are my crimes and they've gone to my head. Is this my reward or is this my daily bread? Is this your grace, or is this your peace? How can you trust it to a sinner like me? Blessed are the poor, they don't know their worth Blessed are the meek, they inherit the earth blessed are the pure, they get to see But what do you have for a bastard like me? Revolution! Revolution in my soul. Restitution! I cannot do this on my own. Institution! Should I put my life on hold? Contradictions! Benedictions! After all I have done, does your love still cover me? When I run away, will you watch over me? Have I broken your heart or scared you away? Can we start over 'cause I need you today. Can we start over, 'cause I need you.
