A drug softened mind greets me on the telephone
|
Going back in time to places I'd rather leave behind
|
Pictures in my heart of where I'd be in the other side
|
I could be with you a lone crusader simply passing through
|
|
And I know that when I smile it's a smile from my heart
|
And although that I'm not far down the road to where you are
|
I'm taking small steps to glory with my Lord
|
|
Upstairs and in my mind restless spirits try to pull me down
|
Behind your tears you smile and behind your smile I see a restless fire
|
I'm sick of fooling you my outside world is not who I am
|
To pierce this outer shell the inner garden it seems so frail
|
|
We've been fed the lie for so long
|
Don't go feeling with your heart
|
Generations scared to risk love
|
So they simply play the part
|
Well I'm not scared to walk around
|
With my heart out on my sleeve
|
Bringing peace and words of sorrow
|
To the hearts that I have bruised
|
