Dear God, lead me to the promised land
I'm your mary, i hope you understand
That you gotta work hard and you gotta get paid
This girl's so young, but I don't act my age
I'm your little bird in cage
But Lord, please don't see me when I'm up on that stage

Little ones, you're old enough to understand
You'll always be a stranger in a strange, strange land
Men are gonna come while you're fast asleep
So you better just stay close and hold onto me

Lord, won't you send me a sign?
i just have to know if I'm wasting my time
Please tell me salvation is mine

Now I'm overcome
By the light of day
Your lips are near
But my heart is far away
But now the war is won
How come nothing tastes good?

Oh you're such a sensitive child
I know you're tired, but it's all right
I just needed you to dance for me tonight

I'm gonna have my day in the sun
You know they all favor the sensitive ones

Oh my little girl in a cage
Oh my little bird in a cage
I need you to get up for me, up on that stage
Show all the men that you're old for your age

I know you hate stealing in times of fear
But if you don't take it, it'll disappear

Do you know where i was at your age?
Any idea where i was at your age?
I was working downtown for the minimum wage.
And I couldn't let you just throw it all away

You Threw me love, God, then threw me a knife!
So tell me Lord am I the Antichrist?
