In the confines of a photograph Lives a child who once was me Ooh, do you see? I still see through those eyes Why did you choose to believe bare-faced lies And let the troubles of others darken your skies? I wrote my own hymn I sing my own hymn It says, oooh Your soul is good! I wrote my own hymn I sing my own hymn It says Yes, your soul is good! In the remnants of our time I wake to find you've broken me Used to be free But in pain I chose to stay Why did you choose to believe things unkind? Oh, hallelujah! Heaven is in your mind I wrote my own hymn I sing my own hymn It says, ooh Your soul is good! I wrote my own hymn I sing my own hymn It says Yes, your soul is good! I wrote my own hymn I sing my own hymn It says, ooh Your soul is good! I wrote my own hymn I sing my own hymn It says Yes, your soul is good!
