We Are Jesus | Live | Sophie B. Hawkins | Never Released Song

This song was originally intended to be included on my debut album, Tongues and Tails. I wrote a blog about this particular moment in time and recording myself performing it at home in April 2021.
Here's a link to that blog: https://sophiebhawkins.com/happy-easter/

And here are the lyrics:
'We Are Jesus'

Music and lyrics © Sophie B. Hawkins

Slow

If you want to know my heart

No I’m not turning back

I’m tired

Of scuffling down these beaten tracks alone

And playing just my part

Mamma I’m still whistling the melodies you rocked me by though

Time

Has changed every line

Every story has two sides

And I want to fill your heart with mine

This can be

A better world to live in

When words we speak

Lead us to an understanding

And care for thought

Can turn our anger to forgiveness

‘Cause we all must bear the Cross

We are Jesus

Rise

To the visions you have seen

Who in hell can tell you how to live your life and where to find your dreams

Whose slate is clean

Listen with your heart, not with your will, and you may be fulfilled

This can be

A better world to live in

When words we speak

Lead us to an understanding

And care for thought

Can turn our anger to forgiveness

‘Cause we all must bear the Cross

We are Jesus
