Sights and sounds distract me from my purpose in this sad charade So I beat the ground with leaps and bounds If they can found then I'll find a way, to be free evermore, but still can be sure if I found what I'm looking for But all I found was misery, it stole the ground from under me, now I always stand out, in a crowd of, love and victory I was nothing, til you rescued me I was nothing nothing nothing, til you rescued me Tightly bound in a worldly fetters six feet down as I waste away The preacher told me to pray, but I turned away, in beauty and pleasure I stored up my treasure, all the riches a man never needs, But the rich are still poor, and the wise still unsure, and I don't know what I'm looking for If I came like a beggar, you stood like a king, And my black heart would tremble, and heaven would sing You saved me, yes you saved, yes you saved me from my misery You saved me, yes you saved, you're erasing all my history
