"Father Abraham" lyrics

Plants don't grow without water
I needed a daddy
But I guess a father would do
If Jesus Christ was a potter
Did he sculpt religion? Mmm
Did he make himself a Jew?

I was born in June to be loved by you
Is it chance or fate?
Performing songs with my high school choir
While you cheered me on in the rain

Success has many fathers
But failure is a orphan
Father Abraham had many sons
An offspring non-maternal
Like earth is nature's mother
Male black widow spiders crawled into the sun

What a honor to be one
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, Father
What a honor to be one
Honor to be one
What a honor to be one

I had to learn to tie my own shoes, yeah
If I tripped and fell, still had to get up and move
3rd grade peach fuzz mustache growing in
Full beard sophomore year, never learned how to trim
Skin-tight was my best friend
Then you showed up around fourteen, started showing me things
How is it possible if we're not biological
Closer to me than anyone I call blood ever was?

I was born in June to be loved by you
Is it chance or fate?
Performing songs with my high school choir
While you cheered me on in the rain

Success has many fathers
But failure is a orphan
Father Abraham had many sons
An offspring non-maternal
Like earth is nature's mother
Male black widow spiders crawled into the sun

What a honor to be one
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, Father
What a honor to be one
Honor to be one
What a honor to be one
