Out here its live and learn,
|
so you can rush and earn,
|
a peice of this pie.
|
Its work today and rest tomorrow,
|
but it's never tomorrow.
|
untill we die.
|
We strive to find contentment,
|
and so often we miss it,
|
when it's knocking at the door.
|
We're too busy to open up,
|
busy with other stuff,
|
so we go on as before.
|
|
Like a pencil you hold dear,
|
but you lose behind your ear.
|
You won't find it 'cause its already here.
|
You can't see it with those
|
eyes so tightly closed.
|
Its right here in front of your nose.
|
|
What are we fighting for?
|
Are the spoils of war,
|
all they're meant to be?
|
We strive for 401k,
|
but we could make a trade,
|
for eternity.
|
Put down those papers,
|
put down that phone.
|
Put down those fake diamond and imposter cologne.
|
Yes, theres contentment.
|
No, its not free.
|
You have to lay down your anxiety.
|
|
If you were trying to end change,
|
you're wishing for the grave.
|
This is the flux of things,
|
in the rain you will get wet.
|
And there is trouble yet,
|
this is how we pay our debt.
|
Running past the things you want,
|
it was always here.
|
You just closed your eyes and couldn't see it.
|
Open your eyes.
|
You'll see it's still here.
|
But you can't chase this world and find contentment.
|
|
It has a face, it has a name.
|
Jesus Christ.
|
What if I told you,
|
you could live forever,
|
if you'd lay it all down?
|
What if I told you,
|
you could live forever?
|
Just lay it down.
