It wasn't my life
There was nothing here for me
To call my own

Just a pile of years
Cluttered with time
Spending my fear

Begging for a home

They were never my possessions
All i ever owned was the obsession
Yeah I owned a few prayers
But no one would ever listen

It wasn't my life
It was always his right
To treat me like a *****
And pet my head lice

I was caught off guard
And I lost the good fight
Because i was caught
Like a deer in the headlights

Frozen in time
Wondering why
This light is so bright

It wasn't my life
I would never create an image of me
Alike

It was always his
To take or give
Day or night

It never was mine
And now he'll take it back
For I gladly surrender it outright

It wasn't my life
When the Lord
Cut the silver cord
With his knife

It was always his right
To create the story he likes
And even though I may not
Like the story he writes

If I don't obey and abide
I won't be by his side
And I can't be one of his Israelites

But it was always his
It was never my life
To give or sacrifice

I'm just a man
Caught in a history
Given a gift of life's misery

It remains a mystery
How a life that is given
To live in a world of sinning
Could be offered an infinity

I'm sorry Lord
I apologize
But It was never my life

You gave

It was always yours
So I lay it at your door
Now I'll rest in peace
And say my goodbye

To what was never mine
