Portrait - Lyrics by Counting Crows


Lyrics
You're not who they say you are 
They made you the enemy (CHRIST-
Jah flesh; CHRIST-
Light within; CHRIST- Beginning and the end)
Taken something so beautiful
Painted a new picture that makes me sick (CHRIST-
Witness; CHRIST-
Living one; CHRIST-
First and the last)
Feed our minds confusion
Sweeten the taste of pollution. (CHRIST-
Word life; CHRIST-
Resurrect; CHRIST-
Everlasting Jah)

[chorus:]

Some people call you father
Maybe you could set me free
These people hate each other
But you've always been there for me

I refuse to be like you
Without life, caving in (CHRIST-
Jah flesh; CHRIST-
Light within; CHRIST- Beginning and the end)
I surrender, giving up all that is me
Yielding to you (CHRIST-
Witness; CHRIST-
Living one; CHRIST-
First and the last)
Shape me in my brokeness
Empower me forever (CHRIST-
Word life; CHRIST-
Resurrect; CHRIST-
Everlasting Jah)

[chorus]


[outro:]
I know you will complete this work started in me
I need you more than ever now that I know who you are
I know you will complete this work started in me
I need you more than ever now that I've come so far
