Words and music by Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers

lyrics

I am not a holy man
I take the wisdom when I can
A crack of light around a granite door
I’m trying to leave behind the din
The voices dig beneath my skin
The less they know, the louder they are sure

I’m going away, gone away
Where the blaring fades away

I am not a man of steel
I take my chance behind the wheel
A yellow beam across the blowing snow
I’m trying to find where I am bound
Crunching on the frozen ground
The only way to see is just to go

I'm going away, gone away
Where the sun breaks through the gray
Hesitation gone today
Nobody is in my way

You are not the only one
To seek the words and drop the gun
Slowly now we gather and we rise
We are stronger than we think
We might be standing on the brink
Power in our hands and in our eyes

Going away, gone away
Where we find the voice to say
Resolution here today
Nobody, nobody, nobody is in our way

I am not a holy man
Come beside and lend a hand
Put your weight against the granite door
