Sympathy for Paul Lyrics
Sympathy for Paul - Derek Webb
Lyrics by：Derek Webb
Composed by：Derek Webb
Hey Paul it's not that
I don't believe your story
That you saw the lord appearing
In all his glory
You fell down at his feet
In the middle of the street
And then you couldn't see for a week
But say Paul I wonder
Would it scandalize you
If you saw how everyone has canonized you
How every word you said
Was on god's own letterhead
And his spirit was caught in your throat
Now every Pharisee must die eventually
By every word that you wrote Paul
Hey Paul brother
Don't misunderstand me
After all we're so alike
That it's uncanny
We've said so many words about
A man we only heard about
But we've never seen his face
And we're both running from
The men that we'd become
Before we changed our names Paul
You're still killing us Paul
You're still killing us Paul
You're still killing us
So hey Paul if you could
See would you regret it
How the law made you see
Yourself as wretched
Would it break your heart
To know that your church won't marry folks
Whose love it sees as a thorn
Because maybe you never knew
That Jesus was loving you
Exactly the way you were born Paul
By accident or not
You're still killing us Paul
Maybe it breaks your heart
You're still killing us Paul
Brother do you hear us crying out
You're still killing us
