"Churches"

I don't want to go to church
I want to be
Because no structure made by man
Could set me free
And walls
Can't live or move or breathe
Not like the church
The church I want to be

Don't want to walk into a temple
I'm my own
A sacred dwelling made of
Flesh and bone
And no ritual or service
Could atone
For this heart than who is seated
On the throne

We are alive
We are a fire
And I want to burn
I want to be the choir
Let the seats in churches
Be filled in my own life
I need my family
I need you by my side

Our wicked tongues
Spin tales so grand
When these decisions
Are all we have
Love is the movement
Of feet and hands
Actions required
By what love demands

So let's not be seated
Let's gladly stand

We are alive
We are a fire
And I want to burn
I want to be the choir
Let the seats in churches
Be filled in my own life
I need my family
I need you by my side

And nothing's greater
Than this sweet love
It's a covenant that flows from blood
Like the blood in our veins
Moving through us the same
Let us not be a stationary place, let's run

We are alive
We are a fire
And I want to burn
I want to be the choir
Let the seats in churches
Be filled in my own life
I need my family
I need you by my side
