Verse One

I see the sun as it rises,
But it also let's me see the earth,
I'm on a search for that key,
To take us out this misery,
In our surroundings,
People frowning,
Drowning in an empty life,
No grounding for that sense within,
Justice for sin,
In a land where the sinners win,
The good man flounders,
Pays to be a scoundrel,
How did we fall so far?
Somehow I know it isn't right,
Like we're gonna find a sanctuary hidden out of sight,
If it's not my fellow goons,
It's hurricanes and earthquakes, tornadoes and typhoons,
It's like the whole earth's cursed,
Some people take the cowards way,
Their sickness make the hearse nurse,
Some people put the purse first,
Looking for meaning, glory, fame,
But their story stays anonymous, they never signed their name,
Ink stains on the pages,
Ingrained with their rages,
Working for the weekend,
But slaves to their wages,
Wish I could be courageous,
and change this whole earth's scene,
I'll come clean, I know the man I should've been,
That persons just a lost dream,
Man I wish it could be different,
Wish I could makes difference,
Wish I could still feel the way I felt as an infant,
I want the brokenness undone,
I the want the colour to come back, the light of the sun,
I want the tears turned to smiles,
Justice for the child,
Love for the woman and dignity for the defiled,
But where we can turn?
We spend our lives designing bridges,
Just to sit and watch them burn,
I guess we gotta do our best,
Do our work and hope for heaven,
Where we'll truly find our rest,
But if heaven is where the saints go,
Where the creator walks among them,
I don't know if I'd be safe though,
I couldn't look him in the eye,
Pretending I deserved it, knowing who I am inside,
I'd know I couldn't climb,
I know because I tried,
But what if he climbed instead?
Threw a rope from the top and pulled me up to the edge,
I know the man who did,
That's I make you wish it were true,
So I can show you that it is.

Verse Two

I've stumbled though the pathways,
And halfway I met a young man told me follow what my heart says,
I raised the bottle to dregs and partied till my head was spinning,
Couldn't feel my legs ,
But then the music faded, the floor got swept,
Carried on my journey while the other people slept,
I met a strong man, he told me listen,
"This life is all you're gonna get, so take whatever glistens."
I made my mission about my acquisitions
Took what I deserved,
Made my way by my decisions
Eventually my strength achieved its goal
I'd gained the whole earth, but still couldn't find my soul,
So I packed my bags and peaced,
Met the spirit of a sage whose body was deceased,
Told me follow ancient wisdom, match my actions with the universe
And I'll escape the system,
So I gave it all I had,
But no matter what good I did the world was still bad,
In fact the problem was me,
I saw that even my good deeds were stained jealousy,
That every time it got hard I cried out for clemency,
And I couldn't turn inside for help,
I was the problem, I needed someone beyond myself,
So my journey led me to an impasse,
To my left was dejection to my right was death,
I held fast, and breathed a prayer with my last breath,
Surrendered hope and threw my last chance on whoever listened,
Heard a voice reminiscent of joy,
The sound of a place I hadn't heard since a boy,
It's like the grass bowed beneath his feet,
My heart was terrified, yet I couldn't retreat,
He locked me in his gaze,
With eyes to make the whole world appear as a haze,
Led me to a pool and begged me dive,
Said to let go of my life if I wished to be alive,
"It's all mine to give,
Everything you wished were true,
Let me show you that it is,
I made you wish it were true,
Now let me show you that it is.
