Denied (feat. Alice Coltrane)

The many times I have tried

To live on easy street and been denied

You see me cry, oh Lord

Swim against the tide, oh Lord

When I have been denied

For every target I have missed

For every angel I have kissed

You see me try, oh Lord

To be satisfied, oh Lord

When I have been denied

And I've been furious

And I have accepted it

And have feared my fate

And I've rejected it

And I have lied my Lord

But mostly deep inside my Lord

When I have been denied

And I've been arrogant

And I have been atheist

And I have sung your praise

With my seductive twist

It was just my pride, my Lord

Made me want to hide, my Lord

It's you that's been denied

Yes it has been you that I've denied
