Feel Holy letra

I have always known you as long ago as I remember
Knew you at the altar in my room
Now I am too late learning that right down to the wick I'm burning
I'm a puppet tangled in my own religious strings

Of all the little things I do
When I wanna feel holy, when I wanna feel whole
All the little things I do
When I wanna feel holy, when I wanna feel whole
All the little things I say and I do
While my heart stays just as far from you
Why do I do what I hate?
With a heart that's far away?
Far away, far away

You open up the cages I'm hiding in familiar places
Stuck between the revelation and the will to change
Singing on a Sunday is hardly what you're asking of me
Where's the truth, where's the spirit in what I bring?

If it's just another thing I do
When I wanna feel holy, when I wanna feel whole
Just another thing I do
When I wanna feel holy, when I wanna feel whole
All the little things I say and I do
While my heart stays just as far from you
Why do I do what I hate?
With a heart that's far away?

Far away, far away
Far away, far away
Is that why you came in the fire, came in the rush of the wind?
Is it why you're found in the sound of the storm
In the light of the dawn and the whisper within?
If the human heart is an altar I've been as cold as a stone
I swear that I want your fire all the while I'm clutching to the cold

Of all the little things I do
When I wanna feel holy, when I wanna feel whole
All the little things I do
When I wanna feel holy, when I wanna feel whole
All the little things I do
When I wanna feel holy, I wanna feel whole
All the little things I do
When I wanna feel holy, when I wanna feel whole
All the little things I say and I do
While my heart stays just as far from you
Why do I do what I hate?
With a heart that's far away?

Just one glimpse at the face of God
One small sip from the spirit's cup
Just the faintest ember from the fire's holy glow
To know you're the hunger and the bread my hunger longs to know
To know you're the hunger and the bread my hunger longs to know
