Lyrics

Father, paint me black
maybe then I’ll understand
Father, make me like You
with a shot of melanin
Father, blind my eyes
to the colors of this world
Father, let me see
the blindness of Your love

‘Cause I’m a thief of the night, horror tone
invisible man living inside these bones
I was thief of the night, horror tone
bleed my skin

‘cause I’m a thief of the night, horror tone
invisible man living inside these bones
said I was thief of the night, horror tone
I gotta bleed my skin

said I was thief of the night, horror tone
invisible man living inside these bones
I was thief of the night, horror tone
I gotta bleed my skin

Father, paint me black
‘cause I’m a thief
