Lyrics:

Dearest, Almighty Creator..

I've lived one Hell of a life, if you're to take it tonight
I've lived the life of a king, but so much to darken my light
Lookin' three-sixty degrees, two hundred thousand diseased
How can I lay back and chill? So many down on their knees
But then again who am I? I'm just some typical guy
I ain't no fuckin' hero, I've just been wonderin' why
I've just been wonderin' why
I've just been wonderin' why, why, why, why

I've seen some children crossing the bridge
What kind of life did they get to live?
What kind of choice do they get to make?
What if it was a child's mistake?

I've never questioned The Book, but let's say I lived by The Book
I never ate meat on Tuesdays, how much bigger would my wings look?
I try to pray everyday, but sometimes get lost on the way
I've seen the Holiest spirit, so much to mislead the way
I gave the visions I got, I been told I'm gonna rot
Inside the Devil's intestines, I'm still here holdin' my spot
I've just been wonderin' why
I've just been wonderin' why, why, why, why

I've seen some children crossing the bridge
What kind of life did they get to live?
What kind of choice do they get to make?
What if it was a child's mistake?

Come on up and open up your door ()
What if it's a Purgatory door? ()
Come on up and open up your door ()
What if it's a Purgatory door? ()
(Fuckin' take me instead! Take me instead!)

I've seen some children crossing the bridge
What kind of life did they get to live?
What kind of choice do they get to make?
What if it was a child's mistake?

I've seen some children crossing the bridge ()
What kind of life did they get to live? ()
What kind of choice do they get to make? ()
What if it was a child's mistake? ()
(Fuckin' take me instead! Take me instead!)
() Crossing the bridge
() They get to live?
() They get to make?
() (Laughing child noises)
