Bullet Proof Glass

Tattoo

Words and Music by TD Wilcox

It didn't need to be on the outside
Never was meant for show
Nobody even needed to see it
When they run into me, they'll know.

Thought about using a marker
Just in case I changed my mind
But that would just defeat the purpose
Cause this was comin' down from The Divine.

     This tattoo is written on my heart
     This tattoo is chiseled on my soul
     It was paid for by the blood of redemption
     This tattoo...
     It's just the way I roll.


I could have done it up in blood in needles,
Could have inked it down in black and blue
Could have gone to see that old guy named "Elvis"
Down at the shop where they do tattoos.

People, they can say what they want to
Spread their shame and believe their lies
They can mock me and beat me and try to burn off my skin
But they can't erase the message written deep inside.

     This tattoo is written on my heart
     This tattoo is chiseled on my soul
     It was paid for by the blood of redemption
     This tattoo...
     It's just the way I roll.

I'm forgiven.
I'm redeemed.
I'm accepted.
I'm loved.
Man, I'm FREE.

Now I've finally found my freedom
By telling the truth at last
You can see right through to my new tattoo
It's behind...yeah, it's behind this clear sheet of
Bullet Proof Glass.

     This tattoo is written on my heart
     This tattoo is chiseled on my soul
     It was paid for by the blood of redemption
     This tattoo...
     It's just the way I roll.
