Saint of Sin

They ask me
How can a saint be born from sin
I'm not the one who never fell
I know the dark, I know it well
I tried to run, I tried to hide
From every shadow deep inside
I wore my flaws, I wore my shame
Thought they disqualified my name
But truth was never pure and clean
It lived between

I'm not holy because I am strong
I'm holy 'cause I stayed to long
In places others wouldn't go
That's where I learned to grow

I'm a saint of sin
Not innocent
But real
I didn't lose my light
I learned how dark can feel

I'm a saint of sin
I don't deny my skin
Grace didn't come before the fall
It met me when I gave it all

I don't believe in perfect lives
Or truth that cuts with moral knives
I believe in hearts that break
And still decide to stay awake
No heaven without human ground
No sacred without wounds unbound
If love is real it's not afraid
of what we've made

I don't stand above the pain
I walked through fire, I walked through rain
And if that makes me less divine
Then I'll take mine

I'm a saint of sin
Not flawless, but aligned
I made my peace with every part
I used to leave behind

I'm a saint of sin
If that offends your plan
Then maybe holiness was never meant
To fear the human man

If you think sin means you're denied
Then you've never looked inside
Grace isn't clean
Grace is brave
Grace stays

I'm a saint of sin
I carry both
The sacred light
The human ghost

I'm a saint of sin
No crown, no throne
Just truth, just love
In flesh and bone

Saint of Sin
Means I didn't erase my shadows
I learned how to let them breathe
