The Way Songtext
von Meshell Ndegeocello

Jesus cured the blind man
So that he could see the evils of the world
Perchance blindness is but dark thought
Overcome by the light
Maybe Judas was the better man
And Mary made a virgin just to save face
I too am so ashamed on my bended knees
Prayers in my pretty white jeans

They say you′re the way, the light
The light is so blinding
Am I not to question?
Your followers condemn me
Your words are used to enslave me
Hear my prayer
My sweet Jesus
I heard that you could save me


Dear brother John convinced himself of his wisdom
To judge, to forgive, condemn
Mother Mary full of grace
I'm so confused by his pale white face
God so loved the world he gave his only son
While many mothers bear children
Martyrs of greed and bitter love

While the so-called chosen
They rank war and rape
So many die in the name of God
Their faith at a closed door

They say you′re the way, the light
The light is so blinding
Am I not to question?
Your followers condemn me
Your words are used to enslave me
Hear my prayer
My sweet Jesus
I heard that you could save me
My sweet Jesus

Na-na-na-na-na-na, hey
You got a mighty, mighty love
Na-na-na-na-na-na, hey
You got a mighty, mighty love
Na-na-na-na-na-na, hey


They say you're the way, the light
The light is so blinding
Am I not to question?
Your followers condemn me
Your words are used to enslave me
Hear my prayer

Have you forsaken me?
They say you're the way, the light
The light is so blinding
Tell me why
Your followers condemn me
Your words have saved those before me
Hear my prayer
Have you forsaken me?

My sweet Jesus
I heard that you could save me
My sweet Jesus
I heard that you could save me

Heard that you could save me
My sweet Jesus

I heard that you could save me
Heard that you could save me
My sweet Jesus
I heard that you could save me
Heard that you could save me
My sweet Jesus
I heard that you could save me
Heard that you could save me
