Back Then

Before the laws and the social orders

Before the calls of our lieutenants arrived

Before the rise of pop culture

Before the guards at the borders

Before the expectations

Led to last frustrations

Before the path to salvation was clouded

By the deep depths of temptation

Back thenIt was alright to pretend

But all we really have is within

And we disguised expected

Back thenLove had a place to stay

It wasn’t getting turned away

It took my whole life just to realize

This has to make a way to back then

Back thenBack then

Back thenWell holy sons, holy daughters, holy sisters, holy brothers

Holy skies, holy waters

For those who came before us

But on the way to work come before us

Before the expectations

Led to last frustrations

Before the path to salvation was clouded

By the deep depths of temptation

Back thenIt was alright to pretend

But all we really have is within

And we disguised expected

Back thenLove had a place to stay

It wasn’t getting turned away

It took my whole life just to realize

This has to make a way to back then

Back thenBack then
