Ok, I know You're with me

But right now I don't know what I believe

I try but the wrong side's closing in on me

The more I fight the less I am free

 

I know that with a snap of Your hand

You could lead me to the Promised Land

I'm begging You, please, reach out Your Hand

Why can't I stand there, on the sand?

 

Then I'd believe, and know to be true

The stories I was always told of You

Not that I don't know them to be true

But it'd be nice to have another clue

 

I guess what it is I'm trying to say

Is I don't want to be here another day

The other thing I'm trying to say

Is if You are the Potter, am I still the clay?

 

Right now, I think I'm alright

But later on in the night

I hear voices, I'm not alright

I need Your help to fight

 

Help me to believe, please

It's not something I can do with ease

I'm begging again, oh please

For another day, one in peace

 

Right now I think I want to live

But in a week, I might give

When I do, help me live

In the land across that wondrous bridge

 

I know I believe now, but can't they see?

The pain breeding ground inside me

It's like a knife that no one can see

But right now, I believe I'm free
