Red River: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

Is this a church or a prison

The windows aren’t stained 

 And I can’t even tell 

If that woman is prayin’ 

 

“Six weeks you’ll be here”  

My head hurts like hell 

“Admit you’re powerless” 

Well, how can she tell 

 

But the angels sing 

Oh, the angels sing

 

Accept what you can’t change 

Recognize the difference 

You’re not a prisoner 

Unless you choose it  

You can’t stop the world 

Or tell it how to turn

But you can have the courage

To live in it  

 

I needed to get outside 

I needed to clear my head 

A guy offered a smoke and asked 

Surprised that you’re not dead?

 

I said I can’t go back there 

He said you think it’s tough in here 

This part is easy 

Try lookin’ in the mirror 

 

And through my tears

I heard the angels sing 

 

Accept what you can’t change 

Recognize the difference 

You’re not a prisoner 

Unless you choose it 

You can’t stop the world 

Or tell it how to turn

But you can have the courage

To live in it
