Through sadness you have taught us to be one with the crowd
Unveil the sacred order, hymns of falling down
You told the greatest stories, of love and bleeding crowns
But to the sick and hungry, you cannot be found

We are young and we are strong
Through strength in self we become
Something more than they can be
I raise my heart 'n say

That I wont believe this lie
I know there's something more inside
When darkness is all you see
This is our sweet blasphemy

Silence the crooked holy, unchain the tied and bound
No time for allegory, one true reigning sound
Unite the lonely mourning, a simple servant now
We are the only glory, hear us screaming loud

We are young and we are strong
I raise my heart 'n say

That I wont believe this lie
I know there's something more inside
When darkness is all you see
This is our sweet blasphemy

We are young and we are strong
Through strength in self we become
Something more than they can be
This is our sweet blasphemy

That I wont believe this lie
I know there's something more inside
When darkness is all you see
This is our sweet blasphemy

    This song is a beautiful song!!! It does have a strong religious touch though This song is basically about how we should just love who we are without anyone telling us what to do Say I went into a church looking like Andy the church would throw me out almost!! And the Christians would say CHANGE before you enter this home Well if god loves me for who I am why is he judging me like this huh!!

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
