A New Redemption Song

Lord, we need a new redemption song.
Lord, we've tried, it just seems to come out wrong.
Won't you help us, please, help us just to sing along.
A new redemption song, A new redemption song.

Lord, we need a new redemption day.
All our worries keep getting in the way.
Won't you help us please, help us find the words to pray.
To bring Redemption day, To bring redemption day.
-A New Redemption Song, Over the Rhine

I can't really take my mental state right now.
I can't describe it other than a deep loneliness,
And a deep knowledge that I don't like who I'm becoming.
