forrest clay - you must go lyrics

verse 1
jon was young and driven with a heart of gold
finished seminary, married, found a church he could call home
made a living giving dying folks a shoulder and a hand
until he told his leaders that he had some feelings for another man

chorus 1
and they said
jon you must go
take your broken heart and walk it through the door
we know you’re hurting, and you’ve been giving
but now you’re a damaged good and you’ve gotta give some more
jon we love you, but we can’t love you
you must go

verse 2
jen could sing a song and channel the divine
spent a decade sharing it and kept herself in line
until her eyes began to see the light inside the dark
then the floor of all she thought began to fall apart

chorus 2
and they said
jen you must go
we didn’t know your quest would lead you down this road
we know you’re searching, and you’ve been giving
but now you’ve wandered off and you’ve gotta wander home
jen we love you, but we can’t have you
you must go
verse 3
jane was born with skin darker than her peers
spent a cycle telling them the reasons for her fears
no one seemed to know or care about the past
then they showed her where she stood with every vote they cast

chorus 3:
they said
jane, thanks for your time, but there’s no room for you when there’s power on the line
we know you’re hurting, but we’re not listening
and we’d help you out but we don’t have that kind of time
so go work harder and you’ll all be fine
you must go

bridge
so jon and jen and jane were on the streets without a home
abandoned by the ones supposed to love and keep them warm
then a voice fell on their ears so familiar to their souls

chorus 4
and he said
child don’t you go, i want your broken heart and your beautiful soul
i’ve felt your hurting, and i’ve seen your giving
and i’ll stay right here till you have the power to stand
they may not want you, but i know they need you
so you must go
ending
so come out my people
the rejected and broken and turned away
let us go and live out the plan
lead us into the promised land
so come out my people
the rejected and broken and turned away
let us go and live out the plan
lead us into the promised land

- forrest clay lyrics
