Righteous Seed

The picketer told us
 "Don't kill your kid"
 In another word we didn't
 But in this one we did
 The drunk words of the Jesus freak
 Made me dream about our baby
 The blunt force of a man's belief
 Makes me dream of what we buried
 I held your hand as our girl was born
 She had your mouth and she had my eyes
 We taught her to sing, to sing
 And how to play piano
 By your side I held your hand
 By your side I stood like a man
 We raised up a righteous seed to heaven
 We raised up a righteous seed together
 The picketer told us
 "Don't kill your kid"
 In another word we didn't
 But in this one we did
 The drunk words of the Jesus freak
 Made me dream about our baby
 The blunt force of a man's belief
 Makes me dream of what we buried
 By your side as our boy was born
 We've lost our new little glistening friend
 Not in love, never in love
 No longer even lovers
 Still I held your hand as a friend
 Still I stood by you as a friend
 We raised up a righteous seed to heaven
 We raised up a righteous seed together
 The picketer told us
 "Don't kill your kid"
 In another word we didn't
 But in this one we did
 The drunk words of the Jesus freak
 Made me dream about our baby
 The blunt force of a man's belief
 Makes me dream of what we buried
 God knows we did no wrong
 But something has died
 Thank God we have a choice
 But something has died
 I'm by your side if you need to cry
 God knows we did no wrong
 But something has died
 Thank God we have a choice
 But something has died
 I'm by your side if you need to cry
 I'm by your side if you need to cry
 I'm by your side if you need to cry
 I'm by your side if you need to cry...
