Текст песни: May I Struggle + перевод

There’s a spirit o’er the deep

And it wants my soul to keep

With a whisper in my ear

Beckoning me ever near

Beckoning me ever near

I have struggled with that voice

Now for most of my grown life

But I never entered in

Because I bought into the lie

«Surely you’ll not die.»

I have wrestled with the snake

I have struggled with the fruit

I have fumbled with my fig leaves

As you call me through the dew

Lord, may I struggle after you

I have lusted far too long

For other lovers in the dark

I have bound myself in full

I have given them my heart

I have given them my heart

You’re that candle in the window

Like the lighthouse on the shore

Like the shepherd leaves the flock

To usher one back through the door

One back through the door

You have turned ear to my prayers

Though I break your heart in two

Bearing all my selfish begging

What else would I have you do?

Lord, may I struggle after you

I have taken of the wine

I have taken of the bread

I have taken of your flesh and blood

With the Devil in my bed

The Devil In my bed

I’m the son too far from home

You’re the father fair and true

And you love although I fail

As good fathers always do

Lord, may I struggle after you
