[ Featuring Simple ]
I think of all the wrongs I've done, how they've harmed not just myself but the ones I love
Choices that cannot be undone
I think of what's been done to me, how other's selfishness has changed the way I see
Sometimes the way I feel
I can't carry on living by desires, no, no, I can't just carry on
It's time my selfishness retires, my selfishness retires
I think upon religious law, how human retribution fails cause we're all flawed. Justice belongs to God
I think about obedience, how boundaries keep us safe, oh, what if we believed? That's what surrender is
I can't carry on living by desires, no, no, I can't just carry on
My selfishness retires, my selfishness retires
Here I lay my selfishness aside, lay down my wretched pride
Make way for the creator to be right, I let my mission die, let my mission die
Here I take submission up in stride, it's here my glory lies
Make way for the creator to be right, and he restores my life, he restores my life
I can't carry on living by desires, no, I won't just carry on. My selfishness retires, my selfishness retires
Here I lay my selfishness aside
