Elijah Greeley - The Divine Lyrics

Well, I've had a lot of time to sit and think
Had a lot of moments on the brink of crashing
Good and evil seem to compete
Ooh, well, it keeps me on my feet, I'm balancing
And this world tries to make you chase your lust
Tempered, temptation, you cannot trust
I know where that path leads, and it's not to peace
Just a wicked game of catch and release
And maybe you walk around in your spiritual handcuffs
Trying to break free, maybe you've had enough
The closer you get to God, the more sinful you may feel
Ain't it funny how the enemy makes his appeal
On trial in the devil's courtyard
He brought me here, caught off guard knife was sharpened
He sentenced me to a life of pain
But I know something that can break those chains made of lies
The maker of all skies
And I'm using the time I spend to find the importance of being pure
And learning that prayer is the only logical cure
And when the evil comes knocking at my door
I close my eyes and pray I won't hear those voices anymore, amen
Cause the enemy is searching for lost souls to make a deal
When you're caught in a bind that feels much too real
You'll lose yourself in exchange for sin and shame
Or an empty empire of power and worthless fame
And you'll lose the meaning of life And he will laugh at your strife, you won't find gratitude
But in all things holy you can rejoice It would be a folly not to make that choice change your attitude
Carry yourself, carry your cross
You will find your way across
Follow the light, follow your dreams You'll meet the creator of rivers and streams
You may be surprised but do not be afraid
You are saved if you have a little bit of faith
Just carry yourself, carry your cross You will find your way across
To the divine, to the divine
You better spend your time trying to find peace of mind
You can quiet your mind Getting to the divine, getting to the divine
You can quiet your mind
You can quiet your mind
You can quiet your mind
