Birthright lyrics by Joshua Leventhal
My father told me that the nations are my birthright
Of how I came into this world as a miracle
But if I'm honest that feels like a lot to live up to
Are they truly wise or are they just old
And if I find myself in a corner
Would you come to me, would you even speak?
If we find ourselves at heaven's borders
Would you give me all that they have promised me
That they have promised me
My father told me that my brother gets the birthright
Of how the seconds between us were a canyon wide
But if I'm honest I'll just seize it like I seized his heel
Take is his honor, take his claim, take his promised life
And if I wrestle with you 'til the sunrise
Will you bless me, would you bring me peace
If I have cheated every vow in your eyes
Is there hope to be
The man I've dreamed I'll be
The man I've dreamed I'll be
Letting down our fathers and sons
We're letting down our fathers and sons
We'll always let down our fathers and sons
Ohhhh
My father told me that his favor is my birthright
The other half of that is hatred from my own kin
If I'm honest my dreams make them loathe me all the more
They sold my life instead of tearing me limb from limb
But as I find myself in the corner
You deliver me, setting me with kings
As our family crosses broken borders
What has saved us all have been these birthright dreams
These birthright dreams
These birthright dreams
These birthright dreams
These birthright dreams
