Yesterday I crushed an autumn leaf, I heard it crack, I watched it bleed
I left a trail of bloody footprints to my house for all to see
Will my pastor keep my skin safe?
Will this godforsaken village keep my skin safe?

Among the trees a flock of lions bear their teeth
Just let me breathe, you must believe those footprints weren’t me
Will my pastor keep my skin safe?
Will this godforsaken village keep my skin safe?

Be the change you want to see, be the change you want to see
Don’t be so cost effective, kid, and crush your memories
