Story Behind The Song
Personal questions about a life of faith and doubt. It was written after many struggles with belief in institutional religion and the reconciliation of a faith that has more to do with original concepts than man Made church doctrine.
Song Description
This is a song/ psalm about the hope I have that faith in God is much more than what the church has made it over the course of it's existence.

Lyrics
I'd like to be honest
but You don't talk to me
there's something in the bite of this whiskey
that tastes like more than you might be
I've heard of all my life
of your come to me plea
but when this world is flying
maybe I want some come after me
Chorus:
I wanna be alive
tired of walking around
awake in my sleepy life
tired of living around
the edges of hope
Won't you be honest
this vision that we've made
is fragments of a stained glass
a Jesus that is less than you might be
Chorus
Bridge/ Finish
Please
(what if we made you out of it
Please
What if the church you made won't believe
Please
What if we made you out of it
Please
What if the church you made won't get up off its knees
