Tashuvah

I like to eat tacos from a truck
drink water from the bay
dance in the rain
and cry in the dark
I sing in the shower
and scream in my dreams

I'm sorry, so very sorry
I'm tied, so very tired

take me to the gates
the pearly white gates
am I allowed in?
can I come in?

It's time to forgive me for my sins

Teshuvah, Teshuvah

Take me back home
I atone
