KISS AWAY


Didn't forget how to pray

Didn't lose my way

I just don't claim a title or name

 

My thoughts of you come and go through the day

I just sit still inside and out thoughts of you light the way

It is just a reminder your just a kiss away

 

Sacrilegious is a myth when we don't forgive

We celebrate the torture of the son when killing is a sin

I just don't want to play those games

 

I try to control my thoughts and the way I talk

Just to be a good person is all I want

It is a reminder your just a kiss away

 

Preacher tells me the path to a place he has never been

Saturday laying with sister juice fruit

Sunday claiming to be better than you

 

Don't want to hide when I have nothing to prove

To be what you see in me is all I can strive to do

It is reminder your just a kiss away
