Living Proof

Well now on a summer night in a dusky roomCome a little piece of the Lord's undying lightCrying like he swallowed the fiery moonIn his mother's arms it was all the beauty I could takeLike the missing words to some prayer that I could never makeIn a world so hard and dirty so fouled and confusedSearching for a little bit of God's mercyI found living proofI put my heart and soul I put 'em high upon a shelfRight next to the faith the faith that I'd lost in myselfI went down into the desert cityJust tryin' so hard to shed my skinI crawled deep into some kind of darknessLookin' to burn out every trace of who I'd beenYou do some sad sad things babyWhen it's your you 're tryin' to loseYou do some sad and hurtful thingsI've seen living proofYou shot through my anger and rageTo show me my prison was just an open cageThere were no keys no guardsJust one frightened man and some old shadows for barsWell now all that's sure on the boulevardIs that life is just a house of cardsAs fragile as each and every breathOf this boy sleepin' in our bedTonight let's lie beneath the eavesJust a close band of happy thievesAnd when that train comes we'll get on boardAnd steal what we can from the treasures of the LordIt's been along long drought babyTonight the rain's pourin' down on our roofLooking for a little bit of God's mercyI found living proof
