Teen for God Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
The sun burns down leaving God's bright stamp
On Peach Branch Horse and Bible Camp
Where we're splashing in the water, joined in song
Swimming with the Spirit the whole day longI'm a teen for GodGod is watching, teen for God
God is watching, teen for GodThe girls have looks and the girls have rules
They came here from their Bible schools
They can make you pay attention to the way you dress and eat
Make you trip over your own two feet andThey kneel down on their towels at night
Their nightgowns glow with a Holy light
And we pray for the sinners and their drunken car wrecks

And vow that I'll never get high and have sexI'm a teen for GodGod is watching, teen for God
God is watching, teen for GodAnd God made every leaf on every tree
Each grain of sand, God has a plan
For what we're meant to be
I gotta wait for GodDear Lord, I plan each day
The things I will not do or say
But I'm driven by a passion, is it only there to tame?
It fills my heart and it calls my name andThis world that you made for us
I know, I know, is dangerous
So I ride a lot of horses, never even swear
Sorta like praying, I'm just not thereOh GodGod is watching, oh God
God is watchingBut God made love, God made the rivers run
And cowboy boots and bathing suits
And the boy's skin dries in the sun
You gotta help me, GodHelp me know four years from now
I won't believe in You anyhow
And I'll mope around the campus and I'll feel betrayed
All those guilty summers, I stayedBut then I'll laugh that I fell for the lure
Of the pain of desire to feel so pure
And I'll bear all the burdens of my little daily crimes
Wish I had a God for such cynical times far from todayBut for now, I'm a sacred vessel, rip me open
I spread Your word like a milkweed pod
I'm a radio station, Your Holy transmission
Even more, like a lightning rodI'm a lightning rod, a teen for God
Teen for GodGod is watching, teen for God
God is watching, I'm a teen for God

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

American singer-songwriter Dar Williams lives at the intersection of pop and folk. She fuses many genres (blues, rock, jazz), resulting in a rather organic sound. She has been making music for over a decade. Her studio album My Better Self finds Dar at an unequivocally brazen crossroads. Reflecting on American politics, the disillusionment and apathy of youth, and the female experience, Dar makes no apology for her outspoken beliefs.
