vanity comes easily
and all the things that my eyes see
aren't helping me
so guide my sight
and guard my heart
and keep me from falling apart

i need your love
i need your grace
i need some freedom from this
place that's killing me
so take my heart
and take my soul
i leave it under your control

you are the fire in my life
a burning flame that makes me whole
i need you lord right by my side
cuz i can't ever walk alone

leave me as ashes
leave me in flames
until the color clashes
and nothing but dust remains


seems i've always tried to be
someone better than me
but i'm always fallin down

seems i've always tried to hide
who i really am inside
but i'm always fallin down
i guess it's about time that i hit the ground
i don't know what i was thinkin
been someone to everyone but never myself
and i don't know what i was thinkin

why do i even try
to let these things slip by?
i want so much i'm never satisfied
so please don't believe
everything you see
most of the time it's not even me

dug myself deep this time
things are gettin' outta line
i've tried to be the hero
i guess it's about time
i dropped this pride of mine
and let you be the hero

it's all about you and not about me
i don't know what i was thinkin
been someone to everyone but never myself
and i don't know what i was thinkin


there's something i don't get
i want to understand
how your love rains down on every man
cuz what if i mess up?
what if i let you down?
i know there's more to this love
i've yet to find out.

all i see
is concrete
a barrier
i can't defeat
i wanna fall
through the cracks
and find the underground
of your love

you're so much deeper than i see
you're so much deeper than i can be
you're so much deeper than i know
you're so much deeper than i can go
you're so much deeper than i want
you're so much deeper....


she's hanging on a mountain
and everything's tied to her
she's got her car
and diamond ring
everything's tied to her
and when she sees something she wants
she picks it up and ties it on
and keeps on keepin' on her own way

and she cries:

"i can do anything without you.
i can do anything i want to."

she can't hang on
she's fallin'
everything starting to slide
she's watching hopes and dreams
turn to tears and fears
and everything's starting to slide
how long will it take
for her to realize
she can't do anything
she can't do anything

can't do anything without you
can't do anything without you

when you take your eyes off jesus
things will drag you down
you've gotta learn to cut the rope or fall down.


do i shine
or glow at all?
if i walked away
could you still see?
do i make you think?
or stop and stare?
if i walked away
would you follow me?

you are the light of the world
all i need
all i need is you shining
over me
over me

how many times
must i fall
before i realize
i am nothing
without you
over me
causing me to shine on everything?
