Deep in my soul is an aching pull
A yearning for more and more
But nothing satisfies
Remembering your face
Your define shape
Never wanting you but always needing you
How did I get here
All alone with just a memory
So much to lose with nothing to gain
I don't love you
I want you

How many dreams will I dream
Before I dare to make one true
How many roads will I follow
Before I find a place to stay
How many friends will I go through
Before I find one that is true
How many songs will I sing
Before the right words come into mind
How many lands will I travel
Before I believe in a hope that lasts
How many stories will unravel
Before I live a life that's real

They say wisdom comes with age, but i believe wisdom comes to those who seek it
I've learned to take every chance that comes my way
That self-motivation actually works
How laughing when I'm down actually cheers me up
That other peoples opinions about me don't matter
That drama stops by cutting out the people who create it
That I can't force feelings my heart won't accept
How crying relieves my soul
That my curiosity and assumptions always kills a part of me
To talk to people that understand what I'm going through
To stop caring about people who don't care about me any more
To love those who are in my life with all my heart
How God is with me and will always be with me
That my life isn't mine to control
That the love of God is all I need and no man will ever love me more than He does
That to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Entangled in simplicity
Captivated by emotions
I sing to express myself
Swept into another universe
Carried away with bliss
I sing because I lose myself
Absorbed in the music
Oblivious to my surroundings
I sing without a care in the world
Caught in serenity
Intertwined with passion
I sing because I can

And all of a sudden everything feels like it's falling apart
I can't even talk to You
Talk about You
Or listen to You
Without being distracted
How did I turn away?
Everything was so right
Going so well
I thought I had it all figured out
Well, at least most of it
You're always here and I know You are
So why am I living as if You don't exist
My life is nothing
But You make me something
You created me
Love me
And all I ever do is neglect You
Bring me back to the road I was cruising on
With You in the drivers side
And me in the passenger side
Take me to where You want me to go
Focus my mind on the things of Your kind
Love, joy, peace, patience, righteousness, kindness
Keep me away from temptation that I may not sin
But I'm cursed so forgive me, Father
I don't deserve You
And You don't need me
I didn't choose You
But You chose me
You bled and died for me
Took upon your shoulders
My filthiness, my sorrow, my pain, my sin
And You we're glorified
God, this is your story
This isn't my life anymore
Take all of me
Body and spirit
Transform me
Make me more like You
Sit enthroned upon my heart
Beat me down until I surrender
Give me strength to fight my ways
And courage to live Your ways
All I need is You

You put on a mask to hide your face
To cover your sorrows and your shame
You laugh with everyone
Say a joke
But no one knows your loss of hope
You let your emotions get the best of you
You let your anger control your soul
You lost your place
Once a safe haven
Now in a hole you can't break through
Cry out for help
Pray for His hand
You know He loves you
His hand is reaching out
His heart passionate
Come out of the dark!
Open your eyes
Rise up and walk
You were not made to fall
Stay strong
Persevere
Rejoice though your heart aches
Repent when your heart breaks
Don't be fooled by their petty ways
Don't conform to their selfish plays
Seek truth
Abandon deceit
Walk in peace
Surrender yourself
Live to love

One whole year by your side
Listening to the sound of your enchanting voice
Captivated by your presence
Enticed by your charm
Why did I fall for you
Struck down by your disdain
Yet hypnotized with your words
Something inside can't let you go
Won't let you go
I'll say goodbye until I'm convinced you're gone
But it would all be a lie

— The End —
