This Month's Messiah Lyrics

I'm just a pilgrim here looking for holy ground
I'm just a body lost but my soul can be found
How many miles to go
How many miles to Babylon

I don't know where to turn when answers all fade clear
But I must find a place there's only questions here
How many miles to go
How many miles to Babylon
How many miles to go
How many miles to Babylon

I feel... feel like I'm on trial
Who made a judge of you
Are you this month's messiah

I am a fightin' man tired of living under the gun
But am I looking for love or am I looking to run

How many miles to go
How many miles to Babylon
How many miles to go
How many miles to Babylon

I heard... I heard it on the wire
That it's all up to you
Are you this month's messiah

How many miles to go
How many miles to Babylon

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
