lyrics

(Verse 1)
Dear Father in heaven
Take care of my father on earth, mother, sister and my niece
Kissed her on the nose as I left connected foreheads with her to feel a second of peace
Like does this tiny human know of any evil yet, and are my dogs capable of evil at all
Every endeavors pure until you get people involved I concluded I don't need 'em, except like three of them
Give or take a baker's dozen depend on how many those people is peeping this song
Grooving to it and singing along
I tried to peace some of this mess together but some of the puzzle pieces seem to be wrong.

(Chorus)
And I don't really like that sound
I don't really like that sound
And I don't really like that sound

(Verse 2)
Dear Father in heaven
Bind satan away from these children
I used to go to church every Sunday this old man would pray that's exactly what he'd say
He'd say
Dear Father in heaven
Bind satan away from Paige Olivia and all four of her great grand parents
Memo and Granddaddy, Grandma and Pop
Grand mommy already chilling up top
Remembering her pushes me past pettier worries that keep my mind locked
She gave me a peanut butter and honey told me that she loved me sat next to me I remember it well
Nowadays I make my own, and tell myself I need to be better and sit in silence in this white box alone.

(Chorus)
And I don't really like that sound
I don't really like that sound
And I don't really like that sound

(Verse 3)
Dear Father up above
Hold my hand as I break below the surface
Allow me to feel your spirit in the darkest ravine
Surround me to keep my heart pristine
Allow me to feel your spirit in the darkest ravine
Surround me to keep my heart pristine
Instill in me the drive and joy of being alive so that I can spread love to every single living being because

(Chorus)
You know that I like that sound
You know that I like that sound
x4

(Piano solo)

Dear Father in heaven
Take care of my father on earth, mother, sister and my niece
