it seems there's nothing that can stop them

i'll find myself a hole and burrow deep

in some ways it's like you've transformed

i'm not sure i know you anymore

tonight i'll pray before i go to sleep

 

take the doubts away

make these thoughts all dissipate from inside of me

guide me to the greater good

and let me be the best that i can be for you and me

 

we grow up we gain perspective

but sometimes it goes unrespected

when we're demoted in priority

win some lose some that's how life is

i don't know what the better side is

cuz winning you i've lost my sanity

 

there isn't a free pass

that's gonna get you into grown-up land

your way is earned through hard experience

but patience is the door that has no key for you and me

 

Jesus Christ I pray

shed some wisdom on this empty jar of answers

lead us to thy greater good

beyond our petty acts of vanity

 

get us through this phase

lead us out of the darkness and out of the haze

get us to the place we ought to be

and watch us as we learn what life can be

 

i didn't always say

everything that there was to be said

but holding on to you is the

greatest thing i'm thankful that i ever did
