I pulled up the garden of grace wanted to devastate what I faced
But I discovered that seed of love endures forever.
I lifted the torch to trace the line
For the lost and the blind
Yes,
I wanted to awake and change the world
But in the end, I failed.
I gathered masses to ignite their hearts,
Our flame never burned again,
We let it go, we let it go away.
Falling on my knees
Sick of confusion reciting to myself,
Bitter monologues of pain and loneliness.
If I would know how to listen
I would know how to stop the bleeding.
I was wrong, they won't take this pain.
Excessive, arrogant, reckless.
I fled from my father's home
With a pocket full of ambition.
I Set a fire under my feet
And traded my inheritance for pigs.
Going through roads plagued with locusts,
I trusted what I had
Would fill the voids I denied.
My selfish perception of living the dream
Led me to hurt and destruction.
I've been proud of making mistakes
Wearing scars like the spoils of war.
I put thick chains on my hope
Wrapping my neck with a rope of gold.
Oh God,
Let me know
I won't become friends with these walls of apathy,
Please don't leave me here,
Can you blow the storm away?
I gathered masses to ignite their hearts,
Our flame never burned again,
We let it go, we let it go away.
Falling on my knees
Sick of confusion reciting to myself,
Bitter monologues of pain and loneliness.
If I would know how to listen
I would know how to stop the bleeding.
Can you put me together?
On my own,
I can resist but with you I overcome.
Once I was lost but now I'm found
I deserved to be a slave.
Once I was lost but now I'm found
I'm not worthy but you called me your son.
