I don't think I'm supposed to tell you
|
Just how much this means to me
|
And how I can't uncross the lines
|
Between this thing I do and the man I'm supposed to be
|
There's a question in the back of my mind
|
Who knows what is really true?
|
I sing these songs and you listen to me
|
But who's doing the favor for who?
|
|
I am singing for my life
|
I am singing, singing
|
Singing for my life now
|
|
It seems almost all of my life
|
I've held onto the piece of wood
|
And sometimes I am tempted to think
|
It's the only time that I can do any good
|
Sometimes when I stand up to play
|
I am a lonely and desperate man
|
These songs are the only prayers I can pray
|
And I sing them just as hard as I can
|
|
And in the middle of the congregation
|
Voices are raised and hearts are pure
|
I carry a deep, dark secret
|
Even now I am so unsure
|
Then I pray, "Oh Lord, come and tear me apart
|
May the words in my mouth fall to my heart
|
Remind me why I live and breathe
|
Is it not to know you?
|
Is it not to believe?
|
|
I am singing for my life
|
I am singing, singing
|
Singing for my life now
|
Singing for my life
|
Now
