Tell me again
I'd just been flustered about that buster
He whipped around and made such sounds
Til ample grace found no place
But tell me, tell me again of what it meant
To see me pay the rent
Remind me of my part until it breaks my heart
Of standing in the gap, when you don't have my back
Remind me how encouraging it is and even nourishing
Tell me, tell me again, while I regain my grasp on who I am
Tell me, tell me again, amid such great descent
How it is I'm helping you in the face of this lament
Tell me, tell me again
