COINS THROUGH MY POCKETS, DAYS THROUGH MY FINGERS
|
I CANNOT FIND THEM, TRY AS I MAY
|
FOR I HAVE SPENT THEM ON FOOLISH PLEASURES
|
IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY SO FAR AWAY
|
|
NOW I AM WANDERING ACROSS THIS LANDSCAPE
|
WALKING IN CIRCLES BY MY OWN CHOICE
|
NO FIRE IN THE HEAVENS, NO WIND IN THE TREETOPS
|
I CANNOT SEE YOU OR HEAR YOUR VOICE
|
|
WHEN I'M OUT HERE ON MY OWN
|
SURROUNDED AND ALONE
|
WHEN I SQUANDER YOUR MERCY
|
AS AN UNGRATEFUL MAN
|
CAN YOU STILL FIND ME
|
HIDING IN THE CORNER?
|
INNOCENT CONVICT
|
DEFIANT LAMB
|
|
I SHOULD KNOW BETTER, THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING
|
PLEADING IGNORANCE WON'T DO FOR ME
|
I'M NOT MISTAKEN, I'M NOT MISGUIDED
|
THIS ROAD I'VE TAKEN DELIBERATELY
|
|
SO WHY AM I RUNNING? I'VE GOT EXCUSES
|
BUT NO GOOD REASONS TO EASE MY SHAME
|
I AM NOT WORTHY TO BE YOUR SERVANT
|
TO LIVE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD, TO BEAR YOUR NAME
|
|
WHEN I'M OUT HERE ON MY OWN
|
HAUNTED BY THE HOME
|
THAT I ONCE KNEW SO WELL
|
AS A GOD-FEARING MAN
|
CAN YOU STILL FIND ME
|
THIS GREAT PRETENDER?
|
BEHIND THE MASK
|
A DEFIANT LAMB
|
|
I THOUGHT MY HEART WOULD BE LIKE A GARDEN
|
WHERE LIFE WOULD SPRING UP FROM SEEDS YOU'VE SOWN
|
BUT LITTLE BY LITTLE, THE THORNS TOOK OVER
|
AND NOW MY HEART HAS TURNED TO STONE
|
|
THAT'S WHY IT'S EASY TO BE SO CARELESS
|
BETRAY THIS BIRTHRIGHT FROM ABOVE
|
TO CURSE MY REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR
|
HURTING SOMEONE YOU TRULY LOVE
|
|
WHEN I'M OUT HERE AND ALONE
|
IN THIS VALLEY OF DRY BONES
|
MY PRAYERS ARE MIRAGES
|
AND MY "FAITH" IS JUST A SCAM
|
WILL YOU STILL FIND ME?
|
IS THERE A ROAD HOME
|
FOR A BANKRUPT BELIEVER
|
DEFIANT LAMB?
|
|
WHEN I'M OUT HERE ALL ALONE ...
|
A DEFIANT LAMB
