How to Be Righteous - Lori McKenna
Don't judge me
I will judge myself
I will lie in my bed at night wide awake or asleep
I will feel pain
When I know I have given it
Everything I put out to the world I know comes back to me
But when angels hear the devils' call
And my vision's unclear I got no sense at all
I'm just hoping I will obey my conscience
I want to learn how to be righteous
I saw it on a TV show
I bought the book, you know
Paid attention when I thought the preacher was talking to me
But it's not easy, no
To get over, let it go
All these feelings that are burning and building up inside of me
But when angels hear the devils' call
And my vision's unclear I got no sense at all
I'm just hoping I will obey my conscience
I want to learn how to be righteous
Well I'll look at all I have and I will claim it
Won't let anybody else ever tell me who I should be
I'll look in the mirror and gaze in my children's eyes
And I will not give a damn what anybody else thinks of me
And when questions come, I will answer right
Be true to myself, need be put up a fight
Will not heed to greed, I will obey my conscience
I want to learn, I need to learn how to be righteous
So when angels hear the devils' call
And my vision's unclear I got no sense at all
I'm just hoping I will obey my conscience
I want to learn, I need to learn how to be righteous
