Sometimes I feel like I've seen way too many things in life
Blessed with physical comfort, youth, and ease
Yet my mind plagues me with insecurities regarding who I am
And who I'll never get the chance to be
I see the way of the world getting darker and darker
And you call me a light? Sometimes I just don't understand why
Do you remember when I was just a candle?
A wayward stick of wax, a wick with no chance of fire
Damp, in the darkest cave, I still think back on those days and wonder how
And why, You struck me aflame
And since that day you've shown me just how dark the world really is
How every motive behind every action takes the wind from my lungs
And leaves a panic in my mind
It's no wonder you needed to step in. How can we say we love You?
How can You accept our pleas?
How can we hold up hands of worship while we sit on thrones of greed?
Why am I so disgusted by the actions of others? So offended by others in need
Because behind the eyes that have done me wrong, I see the same desires in myself...
I see me
But you knew the whole time what we were meant to be
No longer defined by chipped wax and scars
Our identity fully in the flame that refines into who we truly are
We are no longed chained to wrong done against us
Nor are we the sum of greatest failures we can remember
We are the sum of a promise made before all of this...
Before you were afraid to die
Before you lost sleep at night
Before your father laid a hand on you
Before his father laid a hand on him
Before sick and twisted men ruined the word "love" for you
Before you felt the need to show your body
'Cause no one taught you how to show the world your heart
Before your parents walked out on each other
Before their vows became conditional agreements
And before you blamed yourself
Before your grandmother passed away
Before your grandfather passed away
Before my grandfather passed away
And you regretted how you treated them
Before certain thoughts crossed your mind
He was there
Though you run, and though you're weak. He was with you
Though I run, though I'm weak, You are with me
Though I run, though I'm numb, You are with me
