(Verse 1) Tennessee heat, summer night, jar of brown on the step Fireflies blinkin’ slow like they’re mournin’ something not dead yet I was talkin’ to the dark when a man stepped outta thin air No wings, just weary eyes and a weight too big to bear Said, “Name’s Ezekiel, son, I’m the angel of change.” (Verse 2) I laughed till his sorrow shut me up cold Asked, “What’s the meaning of life?” like a drunk fool bold He answered one word: “Experience,” nothin’ more, nothin’ less Left me leanin’ on the railin’ with a storm in my chest Said, “You’re here to taste the sweet and swallow the pain Love till it rips you, lose till you’re sane again.” (Chorus) This ain’t about winnin’, boy, it ain’t about gold It’s the way your baby’s hand feels when the night gets cold It’s dancin’ in the kitchen when the lights go black Forgivin’ your brother when he stabs your back We’re the fifth try, Lord’s runnin’ outta grace He’s tired of watchin’ us wreck this place. (Verse 3) I said, “Fifth try? What you talkin’ ’bout, angel man?” He looked past the cornfield like he saw the whole plan “Four times before you built your towers high Four times you burned ’em down and made the angels cry God wipes the board when the madness wins Starts over with new skin and the same old sins.” (Bridge – spoken low) He touched my face, broke every rule in the book Tears on an angel’s cheek—man, you shoulda seen that look Said, “I ain’t supposed to talk, but I love y’all too much To watch you blow the last chance with your reckless touch.” (Verse 4) Then he was gone, smoke in a midnight breeze Left me holdin’ five years of what-ifs and please Some call me crazy, some laugh in my face But I still feel him standin’ when I’m lost anyplace Every sunrise, every tear, every cheap beer kiss I hear him whisper, “Feel this, boy—this is it.” (Final Chorus – full cry) So here’s to Ezekiel, wherever you roam For lovin’ us fools enough to break heavenly code We’re here to experience—laugh, bleed, love, burn Till the final trumpet sounds and the wheels of the world don’t turn Rendition number five, clock’s runnin’ dry Lord, let us feel it true before we say goodbye. (Outro – soft) Taste the rain, hold on tight Love like tomorrow ain’t comin’ tonight We’re here to experience… Amen, and goodnight.
Lyrics
Tennessee heat, summer night, jar of brown on the step
Fireflies blinkin’ slow like they’re mournin’ something not dead yet
I was talkin’ to the dark when a man stepped outta thin air
No wings, just weary eyes and a weight too big to bear
Said, “Name’s Ezekiel, son, I’m the angel of change.”
I laughed till his sorrow shut me up cold
Asked, “What’s the meaning of life?” like a drunk fool bold
He answered one word: “Experience,” nothin’ more, nothin’ less
Left me leanin’ on the railin’ with a storm in my chest
Said, “You’re here to taste the sweet and swallow the pain
Love till it rips you, lose till you’re sane again.”
This ain’t about winnin’, boy, it ain’t about gold
It’s the way your baby’s hand feels when the night gets cold
It’s dancin’ in the kitchen when the lights go black
Forgivin’ your brother when he stabs your back
We’re the fifth try, Lord’s runnin’ outta grace
He’s tired of watchin’ us wreck this place.
I said, “Fifth try? What you talkin’ ’bout, angel man?”
He looked past the cornfield like he saw the whole plan
“Four times before you built your towers high
Four times you burned ’em down and made the angels cry
God wipes the board when the madness wins
Starts over with new skin and the same old sins.”
He touched my face, broke every rule in the book
Tears on an angel’s cheek—man, you shoulda seen that look
Said, “I ain’t supposed to talk, but I love y’all too much
To watch you blow the last chance with your reckless touch.”
Then he was gone, smoke in a midnight breeze
Left me holdin’ five years of what-ifs and please
Some call me crazy, some laugh in my face
But I still feel him standin’ when I’m lost anyplace
Every sunrise, every tear, every cheap beer kiss
I hear him whisper, “Feel this, boy—this is it.”
So here’s to Ezekiel, wherever you roam
For lovin’ us fools enough to break heavenly code
We’re here to experience—laugh, bleed, love, burn
Till the final trumpet sounds and the wheels of the world don’t turn
Rendition number five, clock’s runnin’ dry
Lord, let us feel it true before we say goodbye.Taste the rain, hold on tight
Love like tomorrow ain’t comin’ tonight
We’re here to experience…
Amen, and goodnight.
