The grass is greener on the other side. So I tried to snatch myself from Your hand. Caught a boat to anywhere but Nineveh. And, well, you know, I got spit back on dry land.
There's tarnish on the golden rule. And I want to jump from this ship of fools. Show me a place where hope is young. And people who are not afraid to love.
Sometimes I believe all the lies. So I can do the things I should despise. And every day I am swayed. By whatever is on my mind. . I hear, it all depends on my faith.
Sometimes I fear maybe I'm not chosen. You've hardened my heart like Pharoah. And that would explain why life is so hard for me. . And I am sad that Esau hated.
This old heart's been left. Out on my sleeve. And I have paid as it's been rent. Into pieces. . Seems everyone I've loved has. Taken a bit of my insides.
I mount up with waxen wings. High to reach the sun. And I am no further than. When I first begun. . So, I build a mount of Athos. To shape Your form against the sky.
No one would love me. If they knew all the things I hide. My words fall to the floor. As tears drip through the telephone line. . And the hands I've seen raised to the sky.
No one would love me. If they knew all the things I hide. My words fall to the floor. As tears drip through the telephone line. . And the hands I've seen raised to the sky.
Looking back at the road so far. The journey's left its share of scars. Mostly from leaving the narrow and straight. . Looking back, it is clear to me that.
You say you want a living sacrifice. Well I am a burnt offering. Crawling off the alter and. Back in to the fire. . And with my smoke-filled lungs. I cry out for freedom.
There's 40 acres and redemption to be found. Just along down the way. There is a place where no plow blade has turned the ground. And you will turn it over, 'cause out here hope remains.
