Kevin Stokley - My Apologies Lyrics

My apologies for the world
Or at least this little cradle of the south
And the parts that I tore up in this small town
I'd say I didn't know what I was doing
But I knew You
So my apologies for the world
And the way we always need to have a king
Politics, rock 'n Roll, and everything
I'd say You never warned us, but You did
I've read your book
I know it ain't like I've been elected
No, I don't speak for anyone
I sure ain't got this living thing perfected
Drowning in the things I wish I'd never done
But if I'm being honest and if You're really listening
Truth is I can't promise things will be much different
But my apologies for the world
And the times I didn't notice what You made
When You lit a cornfield sunset up and I looked away
Like beauty ain't some precious kind of gift
I swear I know it is.
And my apologies for the world
And the way we all pretend that we're all different
Like You said those words in red and never meant it
Like there's more to life than how we learn to love
But enough's enough
I know it ain't like I've been elected
No, I don't speak for anyone
I sure ain't got this living thing perfected
Drowning in the things I wish I'd never done
But if I'm being honest and if You're really listening
Truth is I can't promise things will be much different
Please let me say I'm so sorry
Even when I can't find the words
And thank you for wild nights and Sundays
And all those second shots I don't deserve
I know it ain't like I've been elected
No, I don't speak for anyone
I sure ain't got this living thing perfected
Drowning in the things I wish I'd never done
But if I'm being honest and if You're really listening
Truth is I can't promise things will be much different
But my apologies for the world
My apologies for my world
My apologies for Your world
