In the confines of a photograph
Lives a child who once was me
Ooh, do you see?
I still see through those eyes
Why did you choose to believe bare-faced lies
And let the troubles of others darken your skies?

I wrote my own hymn
I sing my own hymn
It says, oooh
Your soul is good!

I wrote my own hymn
I sing my own hymn
It says
Yes, your soul is good!

In the remnants of our time
I wake to find you've broken me
Used to be free
But in pain I chose to stay
Why did you choose to believe things unkind?
Oh, hallelujah!
Heaven is in your mind

I wrote my own hymn
I sing my own hymn
It says, ooh
Your soul is good!

I wrote my own hymn
I sing my own hymn
It says
Yes, your soul is good!

I wrote my own hymn
I sing my own hymn
It says, ooh
Your soul is good!

I wrote my own hymn
I sing my own hymn
It says
Yes, your soul is good!
