They say patience is a virtue
But I can't wait to be with you at the end sometimes
I wonder when I die if I can look back at my life will I be satisfied
Look at this mess I've made, just like a pig to wallow in
I get up just to fall back down, surprised to feel the ground again
But I think I knew all along, that this would be my fate
I ignored the love and chose the curse, to get me where I am today
So far in this life I stand accused
Of biting more off than a man can chew
But I hope you know I tried to love
And live so people would not see in me but you
It's not easy hoping when all I know is feeling and I feel alone
But you said you'd never let me be alone
When temptation comes around and I dunno how I can turn to you
Look at this mess I've made, just like a pig to wallow in
I get up just to fall back down, surprised to feel the ground again
But I think I knew all along, that this would be my fate
I ignored the ghost and I chose the flesh, to get me where I am today
Well I guess we gotta win the future
Because life is a competition
Our country just needs to get better
So we can maintain our position
When I look at the scriptures
I don't see any constitutions
It just says love your neighbor and God
Because He is the only solution
I just keep wondering when you'll come around
I just keep wondering when you'll come around
I just keep wondering when you'll come around
When you said you'd be back
I thought that you'd be back by now
Look at this mess I've made, just like a pig to wallow in
I get up just to fall back down, surprised to feel the ground again
You sought me out and you called my name, what a thing to do
You picked me up and you cleaned me off, now I'm running after you
